    Very good lens. I'm in the process of removing thoushands of Spanish bluebells from my new overgrown garden. I intend to replant in a few year with our native bells.

    I love bluebells, I grew up in England and I have fond memories of what we called Bluebell Glen (I don't know what it's real name was!), it was quite upsetting when I visited 'home' 15 years ago to find that the area was now full of houses :(

    My hubby has pointed out bluebell bulbs in the shops 'down under' a few times, but they're the hybrid ones and the blue is wrong to me, plus they don't have the same gorgeous scent as the English bluebell.

    Sorry for rambling, but this lens has brought on a touch of nostalgia for me - thank you.

    I just love Blue Bells and I once ordered the bulbs to plant in my wild garden, but when I got them I had no time to plant them and I put them aside and forgot about them completely. Found them months later and they were no good anymore. So I have to order new ones this year. Great lens.

    Great lens. I love bluebell season. Some of the gardens have whole woods dedicated to bluebells and I used to have them in my garden growing wild. They are so pretty and with the speckled light on them in large groups they look amazing.

    Fabulous lens and fabulous plant. We saw swathes of them in the canal side woods last April on our narrow boat holiday on the LLangollen canal. I also helped plant 2000 of them in the nature reserve that belongs to our village in Nottingham. Must remember to see when they bloom to tell the scientists.

    childhood memories of picking them to take home to mum when it was ok to do so,from a wooded area over a brook just beyond the church grounds where we went to sunday school.This year ,the bulbs will be favours for the ladies at my daughters wedding, beautifully presented with a poem and growing instructions.

    Can't wait to see them this year! The Woodland Trust have a new website where you can add bluebell photos and comments - visitwoods.org.uk. You can even search for bluebell woods and tell them where you saw them by adding a little bluebell icon to the wood! Planning to add some pics later :o)

    I can imagine it is quite magical to walk through a field or ground cover of bluebells. They are quite a cheery little flower. I could never think of them has witches thimbles, lol. Bluebells remind me of the grape hyacinths we have in the Spring. :)

    Only a few days ago I was driving around the lanes between Chichester and Funtington, West Sussex where there is a little wood, currently carpeted in blue. From the colour, they are definitely our native bluebell, I'm sure not even the hybrid. Lovely lens.

    When I was in 2nd grade her in the south USA, I played a bluebell in a play. I have had an affection for this flower ever since.
    This a a beautiful and informative article. I just might try to buy seeds and grow bluebells. Thank you.
