Bluebells

Our garden bluebells have suddenly come out - so lovely to see.

Hyacinthoides non-scripta - our native bluebells not to be confused with the Spanish bluebells.

There is a fear that our natives are in danger from hybridisation with the Spanish bluebells - some views from Bug Woman.

A blogger called Bug Woman who posts about nature in her small corner of North London and beyond has a feature called Wednesday Weed where she highlights the wild plants growing in our midst.

I thought it would be fun to track down some of the 'weeds' she features.

Very pretty. Someone describe the difference between native and Spanish bluebells last week. She said the were like lovers the Spanish being stiff and upright and the English are rather limp. It was very funny as this friend gives the impression of being rather prim and proper.
