\nGoogle Images has a number of pictures of squill, but this one is the closest to what has volunteered in my yard. It’s spread nicely over the past 15 years, and continues to move it’s way across the grove floor. The chipmunks have moved some of it to my sidewalk garden, the herb garden and the grass on the north side of the house. The leaves are a bit darker and “strappier” than grass, so you can see the contrast.
\nSquill is well worth adding to your gardens for contrast with crocus, and the blue would be lovely mixed in with daffodils.
\nSpeaking of chipmunks…..the little rodents are up and around and making themselves known. I saw two of them doing the “Oh NO I WON’T….Oh yes you will” dance earlier this week. You know, they must keep their babies in the burrows until they are almost full grown. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a baby chimpmunk!
