A Bluebell?

On Cortes Island we are not fortunate enough to have the lovely fields of Bluebells. But... they are locally common but not in great numbers. The variation in colours from blue, pink to white and anything in between are always interesting to see.

  Hi Ferdy, you are right, I had seen adverts for white “Bluebell” bulbs. The ones I took the photo of were much in the minority compared to their blue companions. Where they are I can not imagine anyone ever planting them there... on a rocky point under a shore pine. It does seem that every year there are a few pink flowered and white flowered ones!

The Common Bluebell

''Hyacinthoides non-scripta'' is a bulbous perennial plant, found in Atlantic areas from north-western Spain to the British Isles, and also frequently used as a garden plant. It is known in English as the common bluebell or simply bluebell, a name which is used in Scotland to refer to the harebell, ''Campanula rotundifolia''.
