At the weekend we went for a walk to look at the bluebells. Nothing else was happening, so it seemed a good opportunity. They always look superb in this wood a couple of miles away from where we live and the sun even came out for a while. I reckon we might just be into Summer, now.

Wow – almost a blue haze there.

Simply glorious photos of beautiful flowers. Many of our most familiar wildflowers, like the bluebonnets, are open country flowers. Seeing flowers like these in a ‘bluebell woods’ is a special treat.

I think they have to be our answer to your bluebonnets, although they can’t quite compete with the massive fields of bluebonnets you’ve posted!

The good news is that they don’t have to compete. Both are beautiful, in their place. Now, I’m eager for our Texas bluebells to show up; I think you’ll enjoy those, too. What’s interesting about them is that their ‘bells’ don’t hang down — they face upward, like the bells of a bell-ringing choir.

Ah, I’ll definitely look forward to seeing those, then.

If you’ve got a spring delight like that in the neighborhood, you should definitely check it out. (Said the guy who hasn’t gone to the rhododendron gardens for a few years…)

I guess you should get over to those rhododendron gardens, Dave. Or, better still, take a photography trip to India or Nepal and check out the rhododendron forests there!

What a lovely display of bluebells, Mick. I have some in my garden, but nowhere near as many as you have in your local wood. Mine grow on the steep bank at the bottom of my garden, and there are few growing amongst the grass this year, too. I have to ask my gardener to mow around them, and not to destroy them. They are so pretty to look at. I’m not sure they are a sign of summer arriving, as it’s been raining quite heavily here all afternoon. I’m glad we didn’t have the storm forecast for my area, either.

We had the rain, too, although it arrived later than forecast and didn’t outstay its welcome. I don’t think there’s much sign of summer actually arriving yet, unfortunately.
