Default What do bluebell seedlings look like?

The message . 145
from Davy contains these words:

Last autumn I sowed some british bluebell seeds and now
something has come up and I don't know if they are
bluebells.


The seedlings I see have grass-like leaves erupting
fountain-like from a central stem. I book I have says the
seedlings look like chives - which I understand to mean
have individual round stems.


Mine looked more like wild garlic leaves - ie, flat. Beginning with one
leaf, then another. However, don't expect flowers too soon - they are
likely to appear several years after sowing.
