  • Bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta).
    In the language of flowers, the bluebell is a symbol of humility, constancy, gratitude and everlasting love.
    The United Kingdom holds about half of the world’s population and they are therefore protected (as are all wildflowers in the UK) but in the case of the common bluebell, trade in their seeds and bulbs is also prohibited without a special permit.
    The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus first described the Hyacinthoides non-scripta in his work Species Plantarum which was published in 1753. He designated it “non-scripta” which means unlettered or unrecorded to distinguish it from the classical hyacinth. All parts of the bluebell plant contain glycosides that are toxic to humans and animals. Despite this they have been used in folk medicine to correct hormonal imbalances and even as a diuretic, but this is definitely not recommended. The sticky sap was used as an adhesive for bookbinding and arrow-making and the bulb has been used to starch clothing.
    According to the Woodland trust If you wear a bluebell wreath you will only be able to speak the truth and if you turn a bluebell flower inside-out you will win the one you love, but only if you do it without tearing it. .
