Bluebells

Bluebells (Hyancinthoides hispanica) are an introduced species but one that I'm always happy to see in the spring. These were photographed in Highrock Cairn Park. Despite the name, they sometimes come in pink (below) or white.

    Those are so pretty. I posted pics of similar flowers on my Facebook to help w/ identification and it was evenly split between hyacinth and bluebells. Apparently the difference is that hyacinth has a pretty smell and bluebells don't have a smell.

    Love the colour 'saturation'.
