Bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) wood on the slopes of the Mellte Valley, Wales
Bluebells were originally classified as lilies but more recently botanists have rather unromantically placed them in the asparagus family. They are particularly partial to the semi-shade of the deciduous woodlands of Atlantic Europe -- thus native to Ireland, Britain and France but not, for example, to Germany or points further east.
