Several times in the past I have purchased bulbs of English bluebells locally and in British Columbia, I have also grown seed from the exchanges. I never get the true English bluebell, which, by the way I have never seen live. As many will know we wind up with Hyanthinthoides hispanica or as it was sold in those days, Scilla campanulata; perhaps even hybrids. I purchased the bulbs in the photos locally two days ago and the bulbs to me look exactly like those of the packaged H. hispanica on the same shelf. Can anyone confirm if the bulbs are very similar? I am not really expecting to get English bluebells from this planting, in pots by the way until confirmed.Maggi - Hope your forecast is wrong, this must be somewhat of a record for Aberdeen eh? Mist on & off all evening and this morning here, +4c and expecting a very strong Nor'easter with 30+ mm of rain. Temp. here to go to +8c. Much of the east coast of North America has received snow in quantity, even south to N. Carolina. Central New Brunswick may get snow, hopefully Helen will not have to dig out. The worst of these storms has been the terrible beach erosion around the Gulf of St. Lawrence. johnw
