    Has anyone ever grown the Silver Squill houseplant?
    Here is what mine looks like today.. The blossom is only smaller than the size of an aspirin.
    Any ideas are welcomed.

    It's a lovely bloom. I don't think they get much bigger. Since the plant's from Africa I guess you'd best take care not to over-water it, and it probably wants some sun.

    That looks a lot like my pregnant onion bloom. I don't have Squill, but I like it.
