I found this low growing plant flowering in 1-4 april. I dont think it is the common Ornithogalum narbonense as it has a somehow different inflorescence (less flowers and more lax) and shorter plant.
Any ideas?

The nearest I could get is O. umbellatum. The fact that anthers are not yet yellow maybe because they have not dehisced.

Another similar one is O. comosum
It would be great satisfaction if I enter the book of rediscoverd flora ! The exif (bluemark) of the photo is 3rd April.

Could be that the anthers have not yet dehisced but I don't know. I don't think that O.comosum has ever been recorded locally, so presumably that is out.
Look it up O.divergens at

(google images also gives these give the pics from this site) these look very, very, very similar to your photos, although of course i am not 100% sure whether the photos i have put the links to have been correctly identified.
- O.divergens is listed as possibly extinct in the red data book, although since this dates back to 1989 i don't know whether it has reappeared since then - i guess that since it might at a glance be mistaken for the rather common O. narborense, there might still be a possibility that it could still be around somewhere.
