The Story

Wild bluebells are a much-anticipated flower in Scottish springtime, spreading along borders and dancing around trees in beautiful carpets of blue. An exquisite tubular bell-like flower, the bluebell has five long petals that curl delicately upwards at the ends. In Scotland, wild bluebells are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act, which prohibits landowners from removing or selling bluebells in order to conserve this countryside gem.
