More Bluebells

It is September, but there are still plenty of bluebells (harebells) around.

Just noticed that they have a perfect five-point star shape if you look from underneath.

Scottish Bluebells

They are suddenly eveywhere – Scottish bluebells. English bluebells flower in Spring and are from a different plant family, closer to hiacynths. While Scottish bluebells come out later in summer and belong to the campanula family. The English call them harebells.

To the French they are la campanule, and the English ones are la jacinthe des bois.

Bluebells are everywhere, filling the banks along country roads with patches of shiny happy colour. Wonderful!
