In the woods behind our house, at only 60m asl and in a very sheltered
location, which are carpeted with bluebells (mainly English, some
Spanish, some hybrid) in late March/early April, we never, ever, get
bluebells in February. What we do get that early on is allium
triquetrum (three cornered leek), but that has small white bells and
couldn't be mistaken for a bluebell by anyone; even WHSmith.


Actually, I noticed the very first three-cornered leeks on yesterday's
dog walk!
