bluebell time again!

[stuck]

This afternoon's amble was to some nearby woods in search of bluebells. I thought we'd be too early but no, we were rewarded with a fantastic carpet of blue/violet/purple/your best description of bluebell 'blue'.

The photo doesn't do it justice.

I can do you a close up too...

Thanks!

They remind me of an inverse of the Jacaranda trees we have on this side of the world (esp. in Pretoria -- AKA The Jacaranda City)

That's spectacular!

Here's some bluebells from my part of the UK. They're a few weeks earlier than usual this year.

Lovely too - thanks for sharing!

They are lovely and add a beautiful hue to the undergrowth.

Meanwhile, spring has sprung on the island of Mainau, Lake Constance (Insel Mainau, Bodensee). Photo of yesterday afternoon.

At the same time, near where I live, fungi moved in on the trees that were too badly burned during the fires a few months ago....

....but recovery is progressing nicely.

Oh, FLOWERS! I thought you meant Bluebell Ice Cream:

I'd rather eat flowers than "Sea salt caramel", which sounds horrid for an ice cream flavour.
PS: Lets not even talk about "Tin roof". How rusty and metallic does that taste like?

[HansV]

Somehow, "sea salt caramel" has become very fashionable, at least here in The Netherlands. I try to be open-minded, so I recently tried chocolate with sea salt caramel. Not recommended!

I don't think they make a "bad" flavor. Just saying
