Author Message   Cycnich  Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2008 - 09:15 am EST :    This is a special time in England, every piece of woodland is carpeted by bluebells. Everybody has their own special bluebell walk and this is one of mine. I would like to share this with you all but I wish I could share the scent which is like nothing on earth and unless you have smelt it is difficult to explain. It is one of gods gifts.There are lots of other plants that flower with the bluebells and I have included some of them as well. Start of the walk Bluebells en masse Bluebells en masse Bugle - Ajuga Reptans Celendine - Ranunculus Vicaria Cuckoo Flower - Cardamine Pratensis Opposite leaved Golden Saxifrage - Chrysoplenium Oppositifolium Greater Stichwort - Stellaria Graminea Primrose - Primula Vulgaris Yellow Archangel - Galeobdolon luteum Wood spurge - Euphorbia Amygdaloides Wood Sorrel - Oxalis Acetosella Sweet Violet - Viola Odorata Wood Anenome - Anenome Nemerosa Buds Buds Early Purple Orchid - Orchis Mascula Bluebell - Hyacinthoides non scripta If you are really lucky you can find a few white ones And Bubbles enjoyed it too.

I miss your county, I think I need to go back this year and visit friends and (N.T.)gardens.

This reminds me so much of my childhood but sadly there are few natural woodlands like this left. I used to walk with my Dad and sister Sue in places like this which were covered in bluebells and primroses. Thanks for the wonderful photos.

What a wonderful site all those bluebells make. Thanks for sharing them with us. Terryk - NY, Zone "6"
