Bluebells, if I had to pick a favourite flower, it would be bluebells.
I've walked in this woodland several times over the last week or so watching the blue colour develop.
This year the bluebells are a little later and the ferns are growing through them. The colour is less intense, instead there is a lovely tapestry effect of blue and green.
The flowers are so graceful,
all slightly different shades of blue
and they fill the woods with a lovely soft scent.
There must be hundreds of flowers here,
a very special time of year in the wood.

Gorgeous pictures of Bluebells. I love the way they cover the forest floor.
So beautiful!! We have something blue blooming just now in many woodlands. It is not identical to your bluebell, but I wonder if it is in the same family. i must look it up in the flower book. It definately creates the same effect.
There really is nothing else quite like a bluebell wood at this time of year. It was one of the things I got quite homesick about when we lived in Australia! There are plenty of bluebells here in Wales, though, so I'm content.
Oh, I agree - such lovely flowers. It's wonderful to see whole swathes of them carpeting the woodland. Lovely pictures.
