Default rampant bluebells

this year, after never having had any bluebells in my garden, I now have
loads, and so does my neighbour!

Why did this happen? Seems strange to go from none to loads in one year,
anyone else seen this?


Bluebells do seed quite enthusiastically, but not usually at long
distances, and they don't flower in the first year (at least, mine don't)
though I suppose they might have been there last year unnoticed among grass
seedlings.

Have you and your neighbour imported any soil recently? Bluebell bulbs are
remarkably tough and will survive a lot of upheaval.
