Scilla verna, commonly known as spring squill, is a flowering plant native to Western Europe. It belongs to the squill genus Scilla. Its star-like blue flowers are produced during the spring.
It was chosen as the county flower for County Down in Northern Ireland after a public vote organised by the charity Plantlife in 2002.
