English bluebell.  Hyacinthoides non-scripta
TODAY'S NEWS:
www.ipernity.com/doc/serola/44631306/in/activity

In the United Kingdom, H. non-scripta is a protected species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Landowners are prohibited from removing common bluebells on their land for sale and it is a criminal offence to remove the bulbs of wild common bluebells. This legislation was strengthened in 1998 under Schedule 8 of the Act making any trade in wild common bluebell bulbs or seeds an offence, punishable by fines of up to £5,000 per bulb. The species is not protected in the Republic of Ireland.
Unfortunately a related species, H. hispanica has also been introduced to the British Isles and hybridises with H. non-scripta to produce intermediates known as H. × massartiana.

H.hispanica is commonly found in gardens and is sold in garden centres as H.non-scripta, and hybridisation may result in the disappearance of the pure species.

They are lovely and it is good they are protected, but like so many things there are other threats.

Hello Amelia what a lovely shot indeed and one saved in fav's by me with a YS

interesting to read the protected status of the Bluebell ... sadly our favourite Bluebell woods have had heavy machinery in to remove trees so the ground was devastated on our last visit

Best wishes ... Steve

if the leaves are OK this year Steve, the extra light will probably be a bonus for next year, and the cleared woodland floor will be covered in blue once more.

So beautiful.. so evocative.... the farm I all but grew up on had woodland with Primroses and Bluebells.

I planted some here... but like most things.. the $%^&*() gophers eat them.... They left me a half dozen... I had just 3 flowers last week.

A beautiful close up shot Amelia. I love all the traditional wild flowers that were in the fields and hedgerows in abundance when I was a child. Lovely to see these photos. Happy Easter
