and the ex-owner kindly left me the odd white one in the front garden.

I've got loads; there are so many round the site they must have been around for generations. But if you have native bluebells as well, don't plant the Spanish ones - they hybridise, and they're so much more vigorous than the natives that the pure native bluebell is disappearing in some areas.

grrrr....we have native ones and they're a b. nuisance....hope to have tamed them to just grow against the hedges. Damned things get into the allium beds >:(  Penalty of living opposite a bluebell wood.

That looks lovely Tim, really does. Have some bluebells (think they are anyway) in front garden, its quite shady they do reasonably well (no pink ones though!)

If you have spares... I'd love to create a new bluebell wood!

Has my PM arrived? Seems that it might not be working - if you've not received it, I asked for your addy + a question.....what do I do?! Dig them up, cut off growth, dry the bulbs for a bit before posting, or wott?

Cheers!
