“Although preferring the dainty white florets of garlic mustard, they occasionally sample a bluebell or two.”

“The bluebell is widely regarded as an emblem of the British countryside, covering forest floors up and down the country.”

“My mother used to take me and my middle brother to bluebell woods, somewhere in Kent, just for a treat.”

“Before her, a stone fountain stood silent and empty in the bright spring sunshine, all gleaming white against a sea of bluebells.”

“These are succeeded by carpets of bluebells, rhododendrons and azaleas in Capability Brown's Rhododendron Dell.”

“The land was quiet and pleasant, with teasels, cowslips, bluebells, and dark soil ridged for spuds or glowing with oil seed rape.”
