Hot news. Bluebells in March

Hot news on the BBC.

Kew Gardens have Bluebells that came out last week! Unusually early!

Havent we had this on GC for a while?

Even I have had Bluebells up here for a week - not all of them, but a few.
What's more the BBC showed a swathe of green leaves - no flowers at all.

 

Haven't seen any here yet, but its been cold (i.e. although sunny the temperatures have been depressed by air from the East I think, maybe that has stretched to London?)

 

Nope none here either

 

Our white bells are just peeking a bit of white through

 

Just too show I'm not totally loco. Just a quick nip & click - cos it's raining wet 'ere.

 

We went for a walk in our local wood on Sunday, always has a great display of bluebells, I was amazed to see a few in flower there too, gonna be a picture in a few weeks, must'nt forget my camera when we go again.

 

Been loadsa bluebells out in this neck of the woods for a few days - and now someone tells me snow is forecast for tomorrow - I may make a snowman with bluebells for hair!!

 

We went to the Garden Centre today (6C and dull when we went in.)
An hour later we left to 1C and lashing down with a rain/sleet mix and windy.
Lots of water on the roads on the way home.
Still, no need to water the garden tonight.

 

I picked the flower heads off the bluebells growing in my lawn last weekend, I don't want them self seeding before I can dig them out. They're a nuisance! However, I have noticed this last week the wild primroses are starting to bloom.

 

The bluebells have been out on the limestone chipping path at work for a week , in Warrington . And a walk in the woods on Sunday they were just about blooming - lovely

 

Mine are starting to flower in profusion from the established bulbs i planted a few years ago but the new batch have yet to get going although next year they should really take off. I also put about 150 Triteleia in November which usually come on after the Bluebells have gone - should get a fantastic display from them next year too.
