Bluebells...

We’re into the bluebell season in England. They are one of our favourite Spring flowers. I found these in the churchyard of St. Clement’s Church in Chorlton. The flowers are stood at attention so that tells me they are Spanish Bluebells and not the native English Bluebells. The flowers of the English Bluebells bend over at the tip. People often plant Spanish Bluebells thinking they are the natives. They then escape from gardens and are moving into woodlands and crowding the natives out by cross pollination. But these Spanish Bluebells are very pretty.
