Bluebells will nod their heads in the breeze for only a few more weeks this year.

Spring has sprung, bringing with it beautiful blooms of blue bursting through the soil across Gloucestershire.

Bluebell season is upon us, with the enchanting flowers turning wooded areas into magical meadows from late April through to May.

The pops of violet have been sprinkled across the county, from the colourful Cotswolds to the winding Wye Valley.

According to The Wildlife Trusts, the bluebell is the “unofficial national flower” of the UK, as it is home to more than half of the world’s population of the flower.

    We are somewhat sadly overwhelmed with Spanish bluebell in my garden. Still pretty, but absolutely virulent.
