Crawtraes and Palsywort

There are flowering Agraphis nutans, Auld Man's Bell, Calverkeys, Common Bluebell, Crawtraes, Endymion non-scriptum, English Bluebell, Granfer Griggles, Hyacinthoides non-scripta, Jacinth, Ring-O'-Bells, Scilla non-scripta, Wilde Hyacint and Wood Bells down in the south-eastern hedge, next to the Artetyke, Arthritica, Bainne Bó Bleachtáin, Butter Rose, Cowslip, Crewel, Cuhacicegi, Drelip, Fairy caps, Gulden Sleutelbloem, Herba Sancti Petri, Key Flower, Key of Heaven, Mayflower, Our Lady's Keys, Paigle Peggle, Palsywort, Password, Petty Mulleins, Plumrocks, Primavera, Primula officinalis Hill and Primula veris, Seiyo-Sakura-So and Yellow Star Of Bethlehem.

Which is to say that the bluebells are out, in the corner next to the cowslips. I didn't have time to have a good look round for any others, but it's lovely to see them; a beautiful deep violet set in the deep-green shade of the hedge, contrasting with the bright yellows studding the sunlit grass. The non-scripta or non-scriptum part of the bluebell's botanical names means "unlettered" or "unmarked", but seemingly not unnamed, or unremarked by me at least.
