What is wrong with Scilla and many people already know or can find it fun to
know that it was a ship called The Peru which brought the bulbs to England
and so arose the epithet.Any good book will tell you this.Does anyone grow
the pink or yellowish forms mentioned in Brian Mathew's book 'The Smaller
Bulbs' ?
