I prune my goosegogs in the late winter, removing old, damaged, diseased stems. I think they fruit on this yrs wood.

you can get the ornithogalum from mailorder people like Parkers, Bloms bulbs, Van meuwen etc.

I prune mine twice. After fruiting I cut back the new growth by about half, and then in February cut it to about four buds,and removing any weak or crossing branches. at the same time giving them a potash feed. Have always had a heavy crop with this method.
