Hyacinthoides non-scripta

Loving the sea of blue dotted with some pink?! 💙💕

Beautiful #bluebells found on a Mother’s Day walk, surprised to find them so early!

That's because they're Spanish ones! https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/trees-woods-and-wildlife/plants-and-fungi/woodland-wildflowers/identify-native-bluebell/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw7YblBRDFARIsAKkK-dJzPdCdR4YyjKzyEJMa4cxtOidMfGrdNVjqbaHhZOsiDbseQhFqvqQaAmRvEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Argh thank you @tash74 for the correct identification- I thought English bluebells stood tall and Spanish ones were arched, whoops wrong way round! 😳

Both pretty, but I think the Spanish ones are hybridising with our native ones and threatening the species in the wild. Love a good walk in a bluebell wood! I have a small clump of Spanish ones that are almost a pale lilac in the garden. Still only in bud as they're in a very shady North facing spot.

Mine too, @tash74 in the garden.. Spanish or English they are all welcome, if it grows it can stay! 😉

Exactly! Mine are far enough away from any native bluebells to cause a problem!

#bluebell season again, although not all got the message regarding the colour 😏 have a marvellous Monday everyone 😊

Why follow the crowd? 🌸

Precisely @rachelbrooks who wants to blend in!? And they are an added bonus aren’t they @linfoster and @columbiariver 🌸🌸🌸🌸

#englishbluebell not quite a carpet but still lovely 😊 Happy Good Friday - hope everyone has a lovely day!
