Spanish Squill/ Spanish bluebell/ Hyacinthoides hispanica/ Forest hyacinth

Related to the bluebell ...
http://therevandadog.blogspot.com/2011/05/when-bluebell-is-not-bluebell.html shows the context of the little vase of flowers .... I don't know why the background is almost completely black except maybe because I had the focus on the pink squill ... ?

Close relative of bluebell but more upright and more bell like heads and they are round the stalk rather than the drooping one sided true blue bell.

@eudora @tjramutkowski Thanks .. I'm not quite sure how it happened as they were on a table in bright sunlight ...

@sarasdadandmom I once decorated a church for a wedding ... the bride wanted wild flowers and it was bluebell season .... her mum is an engineer so she made moulded plastic vases to tie on the end of each pew ... they did look good and there's a great perfume from them too.

[Steve Harvey]

really nice.

[Lois P]

[Pauline Smith]

[Allison Williams]
