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.
