Gerry, stunning colours and really is nearly the med! I wonder though, do you know if this has had a negative effect on any native species growing in this area, as such chalk landscapes are often refuges for some of the UK's rarer native species?

Gerry,

Wow!  Beautiful, but a bit of a concern if it is forcing other things out?

Mike,

Very speccy Erodium.  Good solid marking on the flower.  Not heard of it before.

Bluebell time in the western part of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Inspired by the show of Tony G. from April 26th I made my first visit to an occurence of Hyacinthoides non-scripta near Baal, close to Hueckelhoven and Erkelenz.
I was attended by Erich Pasche. Thanks to the advice and good guidance of two friends we visited two places with masses of flowering bluebells.
In German this plant is called 'Hasenglöckchen' - which means little bell of a hare.
Here are some impressions

Gerd,

Very cool pics of the bluebells.  Looks like an amazing amount of them!

Mike,

Love those Clematis, particularly the fremontii.  The combination of the purple and cream look like they'd be pretty special!!  :o  The integrifolia.... does it open further than that, or does it stay as in your picture?  Both are VERY nice Clematis.  Thanks for posting.

Arisaema close-up
Papaver suaveolens
Gentiana acaulis
Pulsatilla vernalis - a SUPER bloom after flowering - I adore the colours.

Cliff - a very attractive dwarf form of Ranunculus parnassifolius, is there a
a name for this variety?

I add Viola capillaris here  - a shrubbhy species from Chile.

Thanks Gerd,
Not to my knowledge.  It is still a very juvenile plant ... I will watch it with interest.

All your photos looking lovely and especially the youthful bloom of the Ranunculus parnassifolius, whatever its name is...... the Papaver suaveolens is magic too (how come it's out so early?)

Paul

The integrifolia type flower has not opened any further, yet.  We'll see how it performs as it gets older.

Good fortune Rob with your Myosotidium. It likes damp shade here and reasonably frost-free. Cliff, sorry to say such a thing but that particular Puls vernalis, close-up and so hairy, reminds me of a Helicodiceros flower. Daresay it isn't so smelly. ;D
