sweet! TY

Oooooh that's something! Monday I saw 2 robins in my yard digging for worms. I was so excited but then we got more snow! Lol I'm ready for spring wherever it is to get here!

Very pretty. I have never seen them. Where do bluebells grow? Not in my part of TX.

I believe these were somewhere in England. I found them under 'traditional country kitchen' on yahoo...I'll go try to find the link, again.

Here it is. In one picture the bluebells almost look like lavender mist, coming up from the ground :)

Can't you grow texas bluebells, plantmaven? :)

Bluebells really are one of the joys of our countryside. These pictures show bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) in my wood. An individual flower stem.

Sorry it's a bit out of focus but they look hazy anyway. They actually look like a sheet of water when you see them through the trees and it is really difficult to convey their beauty in a photograph. They flower in late spring (which goes on from February to May here) and are about the last of the woodland ephemerals before the canopy is complete.

Oh, wow. All those pictures are gorgeous! Thanks for posting.

Supposed to reach 60 here next weekend! :-)
6 right now. :-/

Since I'd rather look at that than this, thanks for sharing:

That's the measure of snow covering my front lawn.

Can't possibly top any of those bluebells pix, but driving through my neighborhood today, I noticed one neighbor has bags of mulch all around her front yard. That is a good sign. Got me thinking I shpould do that before the weather warms and the weeds start. Now THAT is a happy thought! Last year, we had 56 inches of snow on the ground now (understand how you feel g'weed).

So beautiful. I saw a bluebell wood with my own eyes when I visited Scotland many years ago. It was like something out of a fairytale. The virginia bluebells do a lot better in my yard than the english ones.

I planted them for my Scottish husband. Mine never get to normal height though. They only get to about 3 or 4 inches tall, max, but they are pretty, jts. I wanted to grow them in carpet under my trees like in the photos above. Only a few survived, but they bloom for me every year.

Those bluebells are lovely! I would love to have such a pretty thing, but know what the humid heat would do.

If I would just concentrate on what does well here and quit trying to jump zones, I would do better....but look at them! They are lovely.

sweetannie4u - in Scotland they refer to Campanula rotundifolia as 'bluebell'. That is only 3 - 4 inches tall. Is that what you grew for your husband?

Keep your fingers crossed for me, out of the 6 seedlings I had there's only one left that I can see. It's soooo tiny but if it survives it'll give me a start. I tried twice with bulbs, both times they rotted :(.
