Lovely close up. Pink is rare. I did find white the other day, but most of our blue bells run wide all over the coast.

Beautiful shot of the pretty pink bells. I've seen them before too. I assume it's some sort of genetic mutation or something...

(Just looked it up - apparently Spanish bluebells also come in pink and white...
Here's a bit more info: http://www.plantlife.org.uk/about_us/faq/bluebells/)

Both are quite closely related to hyacinths, so I guess that explains why they have similar colours.
