# I’m having difficulty identifying this plant. Planta suggests Silver…

_Posted by Geoffrey Cann on 2026-08-09_

I’m having difficulty identifying this plant. Planta suggests Silver Squill but it doesn’t quite match. The leaves are thick and rigid with a barely perceptible sawtooth edge. The root system is very shallow. The flowers grow out on a long stalk, pink and white, offset and in a circular pattern about the stem.

Looks like silver squill to me. But I t’s been a while since I had one. So could be wrong.

It does kind of look like a squill, but it might also be a very leggy Haworthia succulent? I find a lot of success with the Google camera lens to search matching images when Planta fails me😅
