Whilst out taking photographs of the Bluebells I noticed a couple of plants were pure white. Thinking that they were just 'white' Bluebells I only bothered to take a few images!
I know that the Spanish Bluebell, an invading species, can be found in a range of colours from the usual blue through mauve and pink to white. I've since learned, with the help of Roy at Roy's Nature Logbook, that our native White Bluebells are rather quite rare.
So, I thought I'd share a couple of images.

Thank you Carole...yeh, it's unusual for me to stumble upon something that's 'rare'...lol...[;o)
Hi Grace...Thank you. They make a change from the 'normal' Bluebells we're used to seeing...[;o)
Not too sure about that Adrian but thanks for those kind comments...[;o)
A couple of crackers Trevor.
I hope the chavs didn't squash these after you took them.
Very artistic shots Trevor.
Thanks Keith. They should be safe they're some distance away from the 'trample zone'. the morons won't be interested enough to walk that far!!...[;o)
It is a lovely treat to see white bluebells, there is a small clump of them in a churchyard that I walk through regularly. They are not the spanish ones I don't think, anyway they are lovely as are your photos :)
Thanks Poppy. It's good to see a wonderful display of our native Bluebells, not so good to see those Spanish invaders though!...[;o)
I'm going to have another look at the whitebells I found I just assumed because they were white they were of the foreign variety, Mr.Farage will have a headache
I like the back ground how its blurred and the photo is crystal clear I think. Its just amazing how you get a photo like that, its like your shocked. I like the post.
We could do without any more of those foreign invaders Douglas...[;o)
Thanks Harley, I'm glad you like the images...[;o)
