Nothing more perfect than an English Bluebell

The colour, the slimmest of the bell and the fact it tells you the wood you’re walking in is an ancient place.
The trouble is this flower and plant is so delicate if you walk on it and crush its leaves it kill the plant.
The bluebells bulbs and leaf bases are full of a white slime which was used as glue in bookbinding and as a source of laundry starch.
In Scotland it was considered unlucky to pick bluebells. In Devon it is considered unlucky to bring them into the house.
However insects especially bees find the bluebells invaluable.
