Thank, Shelia! 😃 Until I looked up 'Star of Bethlehem' I always though that was the name for these bulbs but it seems I was wrong all along!
The true 'Star of Bethlehem' is in fact: Ornithogalum umbellatum or 'Common star of Bethlehem'.

As you can see they are two different bulbs!

Thank you, Janey! I planted these bulbs originally over 50 years ago! My brother hasn't done anything to get rid of them.
