Happy Easter! Just wanted share a new addition: the Silver Squill. 2) Fascinated by these bulbs. 3) I wonder which insect is responsible for pollinating these tiny flowers?

Can you believe this squill? Ledebouria socialis was a #plantfail for me. In my defense, it was a tiny cutting to start with but I think I neglected to water it too often.
I came across this beauty at a local greenhouse over the summer - and I left it there. .

Ever hear of a Ledeboria socialis “silver squill?” It is one of the strangest rare plants I have ever owned. Native to South Africa, the spotted leaves grow out of purple succulent bulbs above the soil. Sadly I had to give it away to my mom after my cat started nibbling at it and I learned it is very poisonous to animals. It has grown tremendously in her care though: what started off as a tiny plant with a few bulbs from @adamsandsongardens now is a large bouquet of bizzare-purple-bulb-leopard-leaf-awesomeness. Just don’t eat it ☠️b
