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.

Terrific shot, the hint of celandines adds nice depth!
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
Amelia club has replied to SteI planted some here... but like most things.. the $%^&*() gophers eat them.... They left me a half dozen... I had just 3 flowers last week.
