Pagan Eye: A Good Year for Bluebells in my Garden

It's a really good year for bluebells in my garden, so I've taken a photo of one patch. I realise they're hybrid bluebells rather than English ones, which is a shame, but most of those that grow in London gardens and parks are a bit of a mixture these days. I've blogged about the difference between them and the environmental issues here

Bluebells are among my favourite flowers and I love to see them in bloom around Beltane. I'm still hoping to get time to go to a proper bluebell wood this year, but in the meantime I'm enjoying the ones that grow by my doorstep. The Londonist has an article with good places to see them in London, so that might inspire a trip over May's bank holiday weekends.

On each of my Pagan Eye posts, I show a photo that I find interesting, with a few words about it. If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to badwitch1234@gmail.com Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself and you must confirm that you are submitting it for A Bad Witch's Blog.
