Other forms: bluebells
A bluebell is a woodland flower that carpets the ground in blue. A bluebell wood, bluebells in May, a carpet of bluebells.
Britain holds most of the world's population of the native kind, and a bluebell wood takes many years to establish, which is why they are protected and the bulbs may not be dug up. The Spanish bluebell is a garden escape that crossbreeds with it.
