<p>A patch of Scilla in WVU arboretum has persisted and not spread for 20 years.</p>
<p>We have herbarium specimen from garden in same town dated 1937.</p>

</p>
<p>Chionodoxa (with tepal bases fused) is noted as garden escape in 1913.</p>
<p>Seems like neither is currently problematic in WV, but I'm glad to be aware.</p>

<div>Hi John and All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>iNaturalist is also a good place to find reports of many species, See <a href="http://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/204439-Othocallis-siberica" target="_blank">http://www.inaturalist.org<wbr>/taxa/204439-Othocallis-siberi<wbr>ca</a>, scroll down for map.
<i>Scilla siberica</i> (syn. <i>Othocallis siberica</i>) appears to grow very well in the mid-atlantic.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are there any look-a-likes to <i>Scilla siberica/</i><i>Othocallis siberica</i><i>?
</i><a href="http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/5375375" target="_blank">I am trying to ID a population as well</a>, cound this be it? I wish I took better pictures.</div>
