I couldn't resist this plant.
It has all the things I like in a plant...freeform,
swirly and designs on the leaves like
they've been painted.
And it was flowering too!
It has 3 names:
Leopard Lily
Silver Squill
Ledebouria Socialis
Aren't those leaves so unique~!
It's from the hyacinth family and the tiny flowers
do resemble the look but are pretty delicate
and produce no delicious smell like hyacinths do.
It makes bulbs which can be separated to
make new plants. That's always a plus for me.
I like to propagate, watch them grow and
then share...especially at the Lakes Area plant swap
in the spring and fall.
I already figured out how to do that
when the time comes because You Tube
makes learning that stuff so easy.
I found it at Willow Greenhouse in Northville, MI
If you live in the area let me know if
you'd like to trade a plant.
