My amazingly prolific Scilla violaceae have decided to reward me further--by flowering! This inflorescence is from the squill that was the original one I purchased, which was in bloom when I purchased it, too (Really, is that the photo I published? I thought I had better ones, but I can't find them to save my life. I remember it being difficult to focus--each flower is only millimeters wide.).I am so psyched! Maybe this time I won't lose the one fruit that develops like I did last time (it literally just disappeared when I accidentally bumped the plant) and I can try to grow these from seed, as well. Or, at least, I can hope the seeds are viable and will germinate if they develop at all!

You're like the second garden blogger this week to post about this. Do you all have a secret Scilla violaceae society?
ReplyDeleteEh? Who else? I'll cut their ovaries!

Inside joke. I won't actually cut anyone's ovaries. Well, not over them stealing my ideas and preposting making it seem as if I'm the one stealing their ideas.
Wow! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice plant. The flowers are a little 'dainty' but very exciting regardless! Don't worry, I won't be having any of that Datura (at least not the purple ones, the white ones however... jk)
