Has anyone ever grown the Silver Squill houseplant? Here is what mine looks like today.. The blossom is only smaller than the size of an aspirin. Any ideas are welcomed. _________________ img]http://bestsmileys.com/coffee/1.gif[/img]

It's a lovely bloom. I don't think they get much bigger. Since the plant's from Africa I guess you'd best take care not to over-water it, and it probably wants some sun. _________________ The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. -Bertrand Russell

That looks a lot like my pregnant onion bloom. I don't have Squill, but I like it.
