Sunday's stunner :

Our native bluebell, Hyacinthoides non-scripta, otherwise named common bluebells, English bluebells, British bluebells, wood bells, fairy flowers and wild hyacinth, is an early flowering plant that naturally occurs in the UK. It appears in ancient woodlands and along woodland edges in April and May. Millions of bulbs can exist in just one wood, giving rise to the violet-blue 'carpets' that are such a springtime joy to walk through. This early flowering allows them to make the most of the sunlight that is still able to make it to the forest floor habitat, before the canopy becomes too thick. Native bluebells are protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981. English bluebells have:

• narrow leaves, about 1-1.5cm wide
• deep violet-blue (sometimes white), narrow, tubular-bell flowers, with tips that curl back
• flowers on one side of the stem
• distinctly drooping stems
• a sweet scent
• cream-coloured pollen inside
