Ornithogalum / Albuca for ID
This plant popped up as a volunteer in some bulbs I have, and its a very robust plant. The most striking thing is that the long bracts on the flower spike make it look like an ear of wheat.

Re: First flowers of the year
I wont count my Crassulas, many of which have been flowering over the winter, nor any of my bulbs, but apart from a couple of early Rebutias and Turbinicarpuses and a few Dorstenias, I had these today: Euphorbia aesthenacantha IMG20240322113447.jpg Euphorbia xantii IMG20240322114501.jpg Euphorbia ph...

Re: Cracker
The current name is Daggodora sphalmanthoides.
I bought my original plant from an Alpine Garden Society show, which ties in with the cultivation comments above.

Re: Re-potting and itchy eyes
Were you repotting Euphorbias? Just handling some Euphorbias then rubbing your eyes can cause intense eye irritation. Twice I had to have an eye bath at work after inadvertently touch the Euphorbias I was growing in my office, and then (I suppose)` rubbing my eyes. Fortunately my plants didn't get b...
