The Living Forest (185) : Common Bluebell

This macro shows one of the millions of Bluebells that can be found at present time in the Belgian ‘Bluebell Woods’ with the ‘Hallerbos’ as most famous (see picture below)

Have a close look at these flowers and see how wonderful bell-shaped they are.
I wish you all could smell its heady floral aroma.

The brownish edges of some of the flowers is the result of night frost.

Dutch name : Wilde Hyacint (syn. Boshyacint)
German name : Atlantische Hasenglöckchen

    I still prefer the Common Bluebell, his simplicity makes it so wonderful! And together like in the Hallerbos the are just like a fairy tale! It's very well captured Mark!!!!

    Welch prächtiges Blau zeigen die Blüten der Bluebells!
    Es muss eine wahre Pracht sein, diese Blüten im Wald zu sehen und dann auch noch so weit das Auge reicht!!!

    LG!

    Sehr schön freigstellt vom HG - durch die verdeckte Sonne kommt so richtig gut die blaue Farbe zur Geltung.

    LG Stefan
