Just curious, what exactly are we bidding on? Is it the plant in the picture, or the bulbs and how many bulbs? This is really pretty. Fanned and watching.

The bid is for the bulbs. I'll ship 3 bulbs with leaves. The leaves will probably wither and die at first, but they grow back quickly. Given proper growing conditions, this plant multiplies quickly. I got just 3 bulbs a year ago and it is now that beautiful full plant shown in the picture. It has only flowered once, but makes beautiful tiny purple bell shaped flowers.

It grows equally well inside or out. Silver Squill also really loves the sun
