Rounding the Year: English Bluebells in Early May
Here are English bluebells, which I photographed this weekend at the Arlington Bluebell Walk in Sussex.
Bluebells are a quintessential May flower. In England the native species is sadly hybridising with non-native Spanish ones, so English bluebells are getting rare. One way to tell the difference is that in English bluebells the flower stem droop to one side and almost all the flowers are on one side of the stem. Spanish bluebells are more upright with flowers all the way round it.
