Laurie is that the 'Blue Belle' I have?
Love this site
Thank you

Yup, tills, that is the bluebell you have, and will have in the future. They gently gently spread (increase by about a third each year). Nice to look forward to - and they have the gentlest fragrance - takes quite a setting of them to really smell it. Our woods are carpeted with them, and in the spring the scent just gently drifts up on the breeze.

Oooooooo Goody
They will look great mix in with the wild bleedinghearts, that pop up all over the place.

You're very welcome Carole.

And Tils, I think they will look wonderful with dicentra.

Oh Laurie thanks for the link that is a wonderful sight. I have a question about the bluebells, do they have some with the blue but it has a small white stripe? I have this growing in a large pot and it looks very much like the picture of the bluebells, I remember planting about 6 bulbs 9 years ago and not the pot is overfilled but beautiful every spring.
I will take a picture when they bloom and maybe someone will know what they are.
Thanks again for the link,

Carla - you might have Scilla - it's striped.

Carla - I'm so sorry, I meant to get back to you on the blue stripe. As far as I know, blue bells don't have them - but then I am not expert on this - but I am guessing that Katye is right in thinking it may be a scilla. Here is one of growins' photos of scilla that I found in Plantfile. Worth looking at just because its a nice photo

Found this, and thought you might want another little scenic trip to this side of the pond - We use to go up to Skye a couple time each year, and I have to say it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth: wild and rugged and empty. Some of the abandoned settlements are incredibly emotive (they weren't abandoned, they were cleared!) But the flora and fauna are exquisite. This resident has captured quite a bit of it -
