Hello,

Can anyone ID this for me:

It seems to have stowed away during a mass planting of Daff bulbs last
year!

Looks like a Spanish bluebell (or a hybrid)

I say spanish rather than english because the stems are relatively stiff -
they'd droop more at the top if english - and the flowers are gently
flaring bells rather than arrow bells just flaring at the tip. English
bluebells are a darker blue than spanish, have narrower leaves, and are
scented. Spanish bluebells have blue pollen.

For how to distinguish English, Spanish, hybrid, see
