Berkshire, United Kingdom

I recently asked about small bulbs found in my Ornithogalum Thyrsoides which I put into plug trays to see how they got on and what they were. Today when I went to tidy the dead leaves in the pot I found lots more attached to the leaves and looking on line this is what I found (below). Are they really that invasive in the UK and should I bin the lot?

"I grow two sorts of Ornithogalum in pots. The Chincherinthees form zillions of teeny bulblets at the base of the flower stalk. If I want to contain the numbers I need to remove them with care and dispose of them. I'd personally rate the spawn as much worse than any seeds.

(On the other hand - those my mother planted in her garden have all died out. They didn't like the conditions under the bark mulch and the watering from the neighbour's yard. She's z9b.)"
