Scilla peruviana

[Ptaszek]

This is also called a Caribbean Lily or a Peruvian Lily. Funny thing is, it does not grow in these areas. It's native to the Mediterranean.

I had one of these a few years ago, but it died on me. I just found this one at a local produce store! Giving it another shot. I'll try to post another picture when it's fully in bloom.

I love the flower! What's the culture like?

The link in the my first post might have some info. The following site also talks about how to care for one of these guys.

I killed the first one I had pretty quickly after I bought it so I'm starting from scatch. Hopefully it'll prove decently easy!

Good luck with it - that's not a lot of culture advice. I hope this one fares better for you!
