 Ahem. My teeth remain firmly at a medium length, thank you very much. Unfortunately, I don't know a squill from a spurge, even when the wind is southerly.
 

Telling a squill from a spurge is like telling a daisy from a daffodil.
I'm a decent field botanist, at least for my local patch, but I'd be well out of my depth on that job.
