A week of weeds - Spanish bluebells

15th May 2022

Native English bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) have a slender stalk, scent and flowers on one side of the stem so that it bends; Spanish bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica) have stronger stems and flowers all the way around, so stand stronger.There are also many hybrids between the two - Spanish bluebells and hybrids do not have any scent.
