CEP - Orkney
Spring Squill or Vernal Squill (Scilla verna) is a perennial which rarely grows much taller than 10 to 15cm. It produces blue, star-like, six-petalled flowers from March to August. This plant is in decline and in Britain is now mainly found on the western coasts. This photo was taken in Birsay, Orkney. Scanned from a slide taken by CE Palmar in 1974, it has been kept as a biological record, not for its photographic quality.
