Bluebells form vast drifts of colour in woodlands. These are a familiar sight in spring in Britain and Ireland, but are rarely found elsewhere. In Scotland they are known as Wild Hyacinth. Occasionally the flowers may be white.
These native bluebells should not be confused with the Spanish hybrid bluebells often grown in gardens. The true bluebell has a one-sided raceme of drooping flowers, with cream anthers whose filaments are fused to the petals towards the outside of the lobe.
