Spring in England wouldn’t be complete without the bluebells. And of course I had to capture them again this year. I returned to Blackberry Camp, where the ground is covered in them from late April until the first weeks of May. Blackbury Camp is an Iron Age hill fort that I have described in more detail in a post from last year.
This year several of my images are from outside of the ramparts. Among them is an image of a white flowered bluebell. I found on the internet the following statement: “Very occasionally, within a population of bluebells, a genetic mutation may occur, which results in a white flowered bluebell. It is estimated that the proportion of blue to white flowered bluebells is 10,000 : 1.” There were several of them in a fairly limited area just south of the Camp and I was excited reading about them, when I came back.
