"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source.

- "The distinctive blue colour with white-eye gives this species the name Glory-of-the-snow. Very fanciful."
- — Zygmunt Budge, Book of Spells[src]
Squill, also known as glory-of-the-snow[1] (genus Scilla), are a number of brightly coloured flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae. The species goes dormant after flowering in the spring. Squill bulbs, which had Potion-making properties, are best harvested just after the plants flower.[1]
Squill were used by Muggles to manufacture cough medicines, while wizards used it as an ingredient for Felix Felicis — renowned Potioneer Zygmunt Budge remarked that it was perhaps the squill that gave Felix Felicis its smooth texture.[1]
