Standing outside the front door this morning before heading off to work and noticed these two flowers. The purple one might be an actual native bluebell (although I remain sceptical). It has chosen a very strange place to set up camp, against the wall of what was originally a garage, amongst a clump of very stingy nettles. I usually chop these down very aggressively, as I have vivid childhood memories of falling off a wall into a nettle patch in my shorts and T-shirt as a kid and not enjoying the experience. Almost invisible next to the bluebell, what appears to be a Lady's Smock, or Cuckoo Flower, another now allegedly"native" Irish wildflower (well, "nativised" over the course of 300 years after importation from the Mediterranean basin).
Sometimes, plants choose the strangest places to appear.

May for me means bluebells.

I'm lucky to know of a few areas I can hike around to capture beautiful bluebell displays, but Barkbooth Lot keeps calling me back.

I mean, look at it.
