Three Shades of Blue : How to Identify our native Bluebell.

- Опубликовано: 20 май 2015
- APRIL to JUNE is the time for beautiful bluebells. Learn how to identify native bluebells, Spanish bluebells or the hybrid of both. When the introduced Spanish bluebell grows close to populations of native bluebell in Ireland, they will cross pollinate and produce fertile hybrids. It is currently not known how widespread the hybrid is in Ireland and what the long term impacts on our native bluebell will be. Report your bluebell sightings to either www.biology.ie/ or www.biodiversityireland.ie/

Thanks for this video. It's a very useful document.
A concise and clear comparison. Thank you.
Ever since I first found out about the Spanish bluebells, I've realised they and the hybrids are everywhere! Makes it a joy to see the odd English on tucked away in the corners of gardens though. They appear to be doing well in the woods still where they dominate or are far away from gardens.
Just back from our walk through bluebell heaven,millions of them and the smell is amazing ,on our nature reserve x
Very clear explanation, thank you
Thank you Susan. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very clear & helpful. Thank you.
I recently made video myself visiting my local bluebell woods, you really helped me identify which species they were, thank you! I didn't realise the differences were so great, seeing them like this makes them look quite distinctive.
That's great to hear Chloe. Glad the video was of help.
Dun na Ri in Cavan is carpeted in them. Beautiful sight!
Lovely
Thank you for your very interesting and instructive video. I'll be much more aware of the differences when next in a bluebell wood.
Thank you Nina, glad you found it informative. April to June are the times to look out for bluebells.
Nice vid
What about the white bluebells? Do the Spanish bluebells produce white flowers too?
I have a good question: what if your had a hybrid native bluebell and back cross it with a pure native bluebell, that over time the spanish gene will fade and the native will be more dominate?
The ones I have are English Bluebells!!
As a former Briton living in Canada I do miss the sight of bluebells. Is there a difference between Irish and English and Northern European bluebells?
I saw white blue bells
Enjoyed learning the difference between the bluebells. Here in South Carolina the Spanish Bluebells are in bloom right now. I will need to see if they happen to have any scent at all. I believe there are pink and white cultivars of the Spanish Bluebell.🌸 I assume there is a difference in heat toleration between the species?
I have all three colours.
