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?

Me too .... I was very surprised to see loads of them in my garden ,as

far as I remember they were never in flower before ...


Back to the "was it the late hot summer" drawing board. ;-) For the first
time in my experience of this garden (5 years) and my husband's 21 years, we
have daisies and celandines on the big lawn. Celandines in general have
gone simply mad, everywhere and the bluebells are the best I've ever seen
under the old Atlantic Cedar. Maybe that Indian summer, mild winter etc.
etc. have enabled naturally broadcast bulbs to ripen and flower?
