Wild Bluebells

17 March 2010 14 Comments

I took this photo last year when we vistited Bunchrew House in Inverness. The grounds included a wooded area and a large flowering of wild bluebells.

Wild Bluebells

I’m not a flower person but it was so pretty I couldn’t help but take this rather amateur (I’m sure someone more experienced could have focused better on the bluebells and brought out the colour) photo.

    I love the fields of bluebells. It is one of the reasons that we choose April to return to the UK, there are some bluebell fields near us and they are so stunning. For all we will miss Bosnia, the bluebells will remind us of how lovely Britain is.

    Thanks for posting this photo, it looks lovely and has totally cheered me up this morning. x

    I sooooo miss British flowers, bluebells, snow drops, forget me nots. Tiny understated flowers that pack a huge punch when they work together!! Actually that sounds a bit like a starry eyed description of the British!! Thank you for the reminder.

    Bluebells are very pretty especially when there are lots of them.

    I love bluebells – one of my favourite places to walk is Kew Gardens and they’re just fabulous there. Such a lovely blue and best when it’s totally unexpected x

    Love love love bluebells. They ring ‘spring is coming spring is coming’!

    Liz, I think you’re right about the totally unexpected thing, this was actually the first time I’d seen wild bluebells like this.

    Erica that picture is lovely. It makes you want to go for a walk. I love that we’re getting a few flowers outside now. Spring is coming.

    The sight of a glade of bluebells is one of the greatest things about living in Britain. The way that it applies a beautiful purpley-blue haze to the world is fantastic.
