We have a winner in our most recent poll! Congrats to member @Jerry Sullivan who posted a photo of an English Bluebell. Enjoy seeing your photo on the home page Jerry Thank you for all the votes this month Stewbies! Another poll same time next month. English Bluebell Featured in thread I forgot :-(
Jerry, congratulations on a fantastic photo! Also, thank you for reminding me of some of the lovely and beloved plants we grew when we lived in upstate NY. We miss them, but also enjoy seeing them in others' gardens.
All three species of 'bells', English, Spanish and the hybridized version, can be found in three colors, blue, pink and white. My English bells,Hyacinthoides non-scripta, (Thank you Sjoerd for the great ID info) live together and the colors mix. Blue is the least common followed by white and pink. With no Spanish or hybrid bells in sight they have remained true for about 20 years. This year I think I will harvest seeds as I have many seed pods. Jerry
