Ornithogalum umbellatum

DizzyD %-}                   

  Lavender Poppy

I'm not Cushine Plant, Sego Lily , or Stink plant

For I am avoided even by an ant

Maybe looking at a picture will help you out

In naming me and finishing this bout.

Guess my name: Light blue grey flowers & grass like leaves tiny bulbs 

Always a friend,

Plants inherit the love and nurturing that a gardener gives t

cushine plant

Neither Rain Lily, Arum or Quamash am I

My grass like leaves are on foot long and form nice small mounds

My flowers are shaped like a square bell lasts a few days and then die

Only to bloom again more beautifully and rapidly in rounds

The more sun the better I grow with a sigh

Put me in shade and I still grow in bounds.

All right people here is the riddle in it's entirety. There are clues within that will help you solve the riddle. Good-luck!!!!

Neither pretty snowdrops or society garlic am I

Since Snow drops aren't stinky and make you sigh

And Society Garlic has a fragrant bloom that's easy on the nose

Although I'm pretty to the eye I'm stinky & that's how it goes

I'm used in border gardening in front of plants that are larger

I'm small in size but form round mounds which are no invasive danger

I'm not Allium, Wild Violets, or Forget-Me-Nots 

They are all so pretty but not as stinky as I

My flowers are bluegrey to white and I grow lots

My leaves look like blades of grass to the eye.

Cactus

Sometime you can touch me, but most of the time you can't

Not unless you want to be hurting for several days

If you came to where I live you would almost always pant

Using me always for xeriscaping usually pays.

Is it the sun that makes me grow?

Or perhaps the rain or the snow?

Well, for sure it's not water as I'm drought Tolerant

So it must be the sun and I love my friends the ants

Whereever I fall I know I will root

I'm big and I'm small so be careful with your foot

Brugs or aloe I am not

If big enough I can get cut

Squeeze my juice and fridge it up

Approzimately, I yield about one cup

Dont' EVER drink me for I taste awful

Remember your hair will feel & look wonderful.

 ALOE ???

" Compost, because a rind is a terrible thing to waste !"

Brugs

Neither loofah plant,Passion Flower, gourd, or lavender am I

I'm a tropical, but if you expose me to the Texas sun I die

That's why there, you should keep me in the shade

For without me you get no hygienic aid

Now go back and read all the hints found within my rhymes

And come up with the answer of all times

Could it be Lavendar??

 Nancy

Is it a gourd ??

" Compost, because a rind is a terrible thing to waste !"

Mint, basil or sweet pepper is not my style

I'm nice and can grow to 9 feet tall in a little while

You can't use me to make Thanksgiving decorations

But that's all right since there won't be complications

Just remember to use me twice and then rinse well

Otherwise you'll be sorry for I'll gel.

Still working on RIDDLE #1 

Neither thyme nor Easter lily am I

But I'm easy on the eye

Just keep most sun from me

And just let me be

Whatever you do don't squeeze

For then my power will release.
