Thanks for this. I was looking at some squill this afternoon and trying to remember what it was.
Ah yes, and one of the very few I can credit to an ecology degree! According to my flower book it’s part of the lily family.
i didn’t know that. But (for whatever it’s worth) I’ve seen it in the fall as well, although my flower book only mentions spring squill.
I’ve just looked it up! Autumn squill is a separate species but quite similar except, obviously, grows in the autumn. Like the spring version it’s native to Cornwall and the coast of Devon and, oddly enough, a colony in Hampton Court Park so there you go 🙂
Lovely – thank you, Open the Curtains!
you’re welcome 🙂
Absolutely beautiful!
Yes, May is one of the most beautiful months – even the non-blue bits 🙂
I agree. It’s the same in Sweden where I live. Beautiful May 🙂
There is something immensely calming and wonderful about the large swathes of Bluebells which appear at this time of year.
Isn’t there 🙂 Somehow that much of something all in one place shouldn’t be so lovely.
