We have loads of bluebells in our garden. If I knew how to tell if they
were English ones I would more be more than willing to send you some bulbs
later in the year. About 10 years ago (I would have been 8) I went walking
with my Dad and cousins and (without my Dad knowing) we dug up about 10
bulbs and planted them around my garden. Every year they increase and one
bed that was previously empty now id full of them! We have blue ones and
white ones growing everywhere and I should think we can spare some if you
would like. If you contact me with instructions on pulling them up properly
and getting them ready for storage I'll be more than happy to!

Does anyone in Bucks/MiddlesexHerts area (30 miles radius of Watford)
have a gardenful of unwanted *English* bluebells (ie the ones with
purple pollen) that they wish to get rid of to a good home?

Obviously I can't dig them up from the wild but if anyone is about to
go mad trying to eradicate them from their own garden (eg see grape
hyacinth thread!!!!!!!!) please let me know.

I have been trying to get a clump going in the garden for three years
now (from two cultivated bulb pots bought from a garden centre) and
they don't seem to be spreading at all, and I'm now thinking my
allotment orchard would be a marvellous place to grow them.

I don't want Spanish or Hybrid bells (both have cream pollen) as there
are way too many of those about!
