I was surprised they were still out so well as late as today.

But unlike RF I have some English bluebells in a pot and can get my shot of blue.

However "Bluebell Woods" are not to be found here - the last two that I saw were in Derbyshire and Norfolk over 30 years ago. RF

We don't have any around here I'm afraid. Thank you so much for posting.

They look lovely has you drive round and suddenly see a mass of blue. I like the black four legged one in particular.

I'm very lucky FB. This one is about 100 yards from my house! And I'm pleased to say that the Bluebells have multiplied significantly over the last few years. There are, however, a few of the ubiquitous Spanish Bluebells on the fringe

I'd dig 'em out but they go so deep!

SO, a few seconds after taking the photos that sweet little black dog attacked a Boxer dog who was unfortunate enough to be on the lead! And I mean attacked! Little B*****D. So embarrasing
