According to this article the bluebell season this year could be early this year and much shorter than usual. This is due to the dry weather in the south east that means bluebells will flower less and their growth is likely to be stunted. The common bluebell is now a protected species in the UK because it is under threat from the Spanish variety often planted in domestic gardens. The National Trust is asking people to submit their sightings of bluebells on the following website so that they can build up a picture of where they are found. I have quite a few coming up in my garden and will be submitting my photo once they have flowered in a day or two.
