Title: It's that time of year Post by: folderol on May 09, 2015, 05:05:15 PM I moved into my home in 2000, and a couple of years later at around this time I was surprised to see a single bluebell and even more surprised to see the much rarer whitebell. Now look. After all these year my garden proudly boast 4 of each!
With that in mind, can you guess how long it took for the patch to develop in the second picture? Quite a long time eh? So... The third picture becomes even more amazing! Over here we have an organisation called the Woodland Trust. I've been a member for quite a long time and that last picture was taken at one of their places. I was surprised to read that over 70% of the worlds bluebells are found in the UK. I knew our little island was overcrowded, but never realised a plant group had the same problem ;D Title: Re: It's that time of year Post by: elwoodblues91 on May 09, 2015, 07:03:25 PM Very pretty.(http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-char038.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php) It's nice to see that 2 of the 3 photos here,have sunlight in them....it seems that sunny day photos are hard to come by,in the U.K..

Bluebells grow here like a weed, although they appear slightly different. Along with the bluebells - which are not native to the island - grow fields and fields of camas plants, also with bright blue flowers... The first two photos are Camas - the third, island bluebells. |
