Scilla Species, Caribbean Lily, Cuban Lily, Giant Squill, Hyacinth of Peru, Portuguese Squill (Scilla peruviana)
This is a lovely bulb, great colour, does well in semi shade. I had this plant at my last place and forgot to bring it with me. So was pleased to see it flowering down the street.
Foliage coming back in the Fall getting ready for Spring bloom.
