<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I believe there is a population of squill,
<i>Scilla siberica</i>, at Tucquan Glen in southern Lancaster Co., PA. I did a Google search on squill EDDMAPS and immediately got the distribution map for it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">It is severely invasive in Minnesota:
<a href="https://www.minnesotawildflowers.info/flower/siberian-squill">https://www.minnesotawildflowers.info/flower/siberian-squill</a> . At Tucquan Glen I have seen it for years, but I will start quantifying the population over time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Photos below are from March 22, 2017. If anyone knows that this is not
<i>Scilla siberica</i>, please let me know.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
