This is the North of England and I can't remember ever seeing bluebells this early in the year. Are they out anywhere else?? |

From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Well, we got a nice fresh coating of snow yesterday here in the North of NEW England, but I did hear a robin upon awakening today. And it's been raining steadily for about 24 hours, so although no bluebells, there is hope that spring will come. There are even little green shoots of bulb-ish things peeking up here and there where there's a little thawed patch. |

06 Apr 08 - 05:58 PM (#2308543) Subject: RE: BS: Too early for bluebells? From: GUEST,Shimrod Around here (South Manchester, UK) a few Spanish Bluebells (Hyacynthoides hispanica) and their hybrid with English Bluebells seem to be in flower. But the English Bluebells (H. non-scripta) themselves are not making much of a show yet. This is, in my experience, entirely normal. |

07 Apr 08 - 03:46 AM (#2308801) Subject: RE: BS: Too early for bluebells? From: Liz the Squeak As there were daffodils in full flower in January on the south west Dorset coast this year, I should think the bluebells are just about on time. They may be early by our calendars, but when did you ever see a flower with a diary? The hyacinths in my garden are over and done, I've not been out there in enough daylight to see if the bluebells are still there. I have had them budding in March before now, but the shrubs that shade that part of the garden haven't been pruned for a while. LTS |

The wild ones in the woods are still opening so hope to have a really long time with them this year. Let's hope that they are still out for May Day. My cowslips have been blooming for over 4 weeks now and let's hope they last until May Day too. |
