Nothing more uplifting than the sea of blue and the intoxicating scent of Ransoms, with their little sparkler flower heads. Absolute delight!
Colour wise, I think the bright spring green of very new leaves – and especially of the beech – does it for me at this end of the year, although as we pass through, there's the delicate pinks of wild rose, and the vibrant yellow of early flowers, the deep magenta of the foxglove ...
We have bluebells growing in our garden, both front and back. They do have a slightly annoying habit of growing wherever they please, but they are welcome, none the less. I also wish they didn't have such big leaves that take up so much space, but hey, that's the way they are. They come out along with some other plant that also has blue flowers, and they look nice together. It seems that both of those plants will let nothing deter them from their chosen home!
Such a beautiful post! I'm glad I read all the way to the end to see why it was even more special, knowing that not everyone can have the chance to experience this bluebell wood the way you did that day. It gave me chills! The video with birdsong was so lovely and relaxing as well. Thank you.
Spring here in the Green Mountains of Vermont is quite different!
Beautiful. This sounds like such a magical place, and I loved the little video. I too have fond memories of 'bluebell woods' as a child. I long to create just a little patch of this in my own space. This morning we happened upon a yard sale and picked up lots of up potted bluebells for just 50p each! Project bluebell wood commences...

The scent of the wild garlic was so strong this year, fresh and pungent. A beech wood with new leaves shimmers doesn't it? ✨🎇❇️

I'm glad both plants compliment each other, nature has a way of showing us what works well.

Keep us updated with your bluebell project, it sounds amazing.
