Bluebells

Another find in the Homestead Park yesterday. I don't think they are Britidh bluebells, the flowers are rather wide for that, but I'm not sure what variety they are.

I did like seeing the lovely blues of these bluebells. One of the joys of this time of year is to walk through a bluebell wood, but I'm not aware of one close enough to home for me to walk to during my daily exercise.

Beautiful, we have some like this, they are just starting to flower they are cultivated ones. I will miss the wild ones this year, they are daintier and a much darker blue, they also flower a week or two later here. Fav

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

My plans for this month had included a trip to Middleton Park in Leeds where there is an enormous bluebell wood. Th park is a fascinating mixture of nature and industrial archaeology, since part of it was the site of a former coal mine. So, next year....
