Bluebells

This beautiful flower covers woodland floors in Britain in the spring. It is a member of the hyacinth family and its small white bulbs contain starch which was used to stiffen the elaborate ruffs worn by gentlefolk in Elizabethan times.

Beautiful work!

Artist Reply: Thank you - I love the wonderful shade of blue in these flowers and this inspired me to draw them. I can never hope to get close to the beauty of the real thing though - I just hope it helps to get others looking more closely at nature and realising how marvellous our world actually is. Jane

Artist Reply: Thanks again - I think it is the gorgeous blue flowers of the bluebell that made me want to draw it. Nature is so wonderful - you can never hope to get close to the fantastic detail each petal & stem has in real life but it is fun to try!
