Bluebells, Trees And Shadows

Carpets of Bluebells are a magnificent sight in the spring especially in England. They are often associated with ancient woodlands.

Bluebells are well adapted to life in woodlands. In the spring they flower before the surrounding trees come out in full leaf. This means that they complete their life cycle while light levels are high. Bluebells are able to grow quickly in the spring because they have an energy store in the form of a bulb.

The bluebells pictured here, are growing in our local woods.

Thanks for viewing. :)
