The Bluebell is a bulbous perennial plant found in Atlantic areas from the north-western part of the Iberian Peninsula to the British Isles, and also frequently used as a garden plant. It is known in English as the Common Bluebell or simply Bluebell, a name which is used in Scotland to refer to the Harebell (Campanula rotundifolia). In spring, Bluebells produce a nodding, one-sided inflorescence of 5–12 tubular, sweet-scented violet–blue flowers, with strongly recurved tepals, and 3–6 long, linear, basal leaves.

▶ Photographer's note:
This is a close-up. The blossoms appear much larger in the image than they did in 'real' life.
