"Bringing in the May" refers to the traditional May Day custom of gathering flowers and greenery to decorate homes and public spaces. It signifies the welcoming of spring and the abundance of nature. These unexpected peony blooms today (Magenta Gem) are a perfect example.

Everyone loves bluebells! But how can you distinguish the UK native, Spanish and hybrid species?

Incredibly, almost half of the world's bluebells are found in the UK. They grow in large colonies that cover the ground of woodland edges from April-May.

Native bluebells (𝘏𝘺𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘯-𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵𝘢) are threatened by habitat destruction, harvesting from the wild, and potentially competition from Spanish bluebells (𝘏𝘺𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢), a garden-escape introduced by the Victorians, which are able to hybridise with UK native bluebells (𝘏𝘺𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘹 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢), so it can be difficult to identify true native populations.

The biggest tell is that native bluebells have droopy stems and a sweet scent, while Spanish bluebells are straight-stemmed and unscented.

💚 Bluebells are symbolically associated with gratitude and everlasting love 💚

[EDIT in response to FAQs:] Spanish and hybrid bluebells still provide a good nectar source, so they are beneficial to pollinators! 🙂🐝 It's fine if you already have them in your garden for people and wildlife to enjoy. However we want to encourage people to acknowledge the difference between the types of bluebells, and to be aware that if you want to plant new bulbs and your garden is close to natural areas where native bluebells are present, it is preferable to choose to plant native ones, due to the risk of escape or hybridisation with wild bluebells. And, if disposing of garden waste, always do this responsibly.🌱

UK native bluebells are protected by law under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981).

With a break in the rain and frost forecast I'm hoping to (finally!!!) get some bulbs in the ground.
These everlasting wreaths created with seasonal flowers grown and dried on site can be posted across the UK....they'll be going on the website after I've tackled the bulbs...and mud...lots of mud!
