I'm a little unclear on this squill (Scilla). Last year we received three of these that had obviously been grown into bloom in a greenhouse environment. After acclimatization I planted all three and two of them just couldn't take the heat. The one that survived is pictured below. I am not sure if this is Scilla peruviana. From the literature I have, S. peruviana is the only likely choice.

Can someone key this rascal. I'd really like to be sure. I'm told it there is no possibility of it naturalizing here....but, yet..here it is...lol.

Thanks for any help.
