Spanish Bluebells
Scientific Name: Hyacinthoides hispanica
Also known as: Wood Hyacinth
Status: Invasive 🚫
Toxicity: Poisonous. ☠
About: Spanish bluebells are "native to the western part of the Iberian Peninsula (except the extreme northwest) which includes Portugal and western Spain, but has naturalized and is cultivated in many other European countries, North America and Australia.
It is distinguished from the common bluebell by its paler and larger blue flowers, which are less pendulous and not all drooping to one side like the common bluebell; plus a more erect flower stem (raceme), broader leaves, blue anthers (where the common bluebell has creamy-white ones) and little or no scent compared to the strong fragrant scent of the northern species. Like Hyacinthoides non-scripta, both pink- and white-flowered forms occur." - Wikipedia
