[MAIPC] Scilla siberica

[Grund, Steve]

Possibly Scilla siberica, but I think it is S. bifolia. Definitely not Camassia.

Hi Jil and maipc list members,

I believe there is a population of squill, Scilla siberica, at Tucquan Glen in southern Lancaster Co., PA.  I did a Google search on squill EDDMAPS and immediately got the distribution map for it.

It is severely invasive in Minnesota:  https://www.minnesotawildflowers.info/flower/siberian-squill  .  At Tucquan Glen I have seen it for years, but I will start quantifying the population over time.

This is on a rich, high, forested floodplain.  Snowdrops started being invasive on the same floodplain, but it is easy to pull out clumps of it.

Photos below are from March 22, 2017.  If anyone knows that this is not Scilla siberica, please let me know.
