Hyacinthiodes non-scripta - Bluebell
In spring many Welsh woods are carpeted with bluebells.
These wild hyacinths bloom from late April to June, with the most
spectacular displays in May.
In the evenings the air is scented with the fragrance of
these delicate flowers, which droop so quickly when picked.
Pink, mauve and white wild hyacinths are also fairly common
in Wales.
Experts advise that picking the flowers does not do much
damage, but if the leaves are picked the plant may die.
