Bluebells

This image depicts a cluster of bluebells which are slender plants, with many large, violet blue, bell shaped, nodding flowers. Spread by rhizomes, they bloom in July and August and grow to be 8 to 14 inches tall. The leaves on the stem are long, narrow, and dark green. The basal leaves are rounded in shape and about 1 1/4 inches across. There is a window on the back of the flower that allows the sun to heat up the inside, which speeds up the reproduction of the seeds. Bees will often puncture this window to get the nectar out.
