Bluebell Wood .. ' Blog '

lovely shot Amy, you can't beat seeing them like this i love it...

Thanks Slad , this is a special place we were to early to see them but it's where the rare Lily of the Valley grows and not just a few plants whole huge areas of them almost as many as the bluebells also over the other side of the wood there are masses of wild Garlic when it's in flower you can really smell the garlic ... I shall go back in another week or two to see them ..

This is how they should look. Just beautiful in masses in the wild.

They are such a beautiful blue, Amy - lovely picture :) Funny you should mention wild Garlic . . . yesterday I was pulling handfuls of it out of my optimistically-named wildflower meadow(!), and the smell was quite strong but pleasant (leaving a few out of the hundred, tho', as they are pretty when in flower).

Lovely .... You can see why the bluebell is excluded from britains favourite flower competions...it always used
to win !

Lovely place to walk, Amy ... aren't Bluebell woods just beautiful? ... :o)

magical Amy :o))

that beautiful blue, lovely photo, thanks amy

Thank you all , I believe people do use the wild garlic leaves in their salad dishes Sheila, I like the flowers to , yes cacti it has always been a favourite . I'm pleased you have all enjoyed seeing it ........

wild garlic makes good pesto too ~ lulu knows how, its delicious.

That sounds nice Sticki I love Pesto :o)

Thanks Sticki - I should try that, I have so much of it!

i know we chopped it up, including flowers, i think lulu added parmesan, a little olive oil and only a few pine nuts and we chopped it finely, there is a photo on my blog and possibly stevie's or lulu's blog [the one where we met up]
it tasted SO healthy and fresh.

Sea of blue.

It is stunning Carol.... Sticki I will have a look at Lulu's page or it might be on the recipe page !

I don't think lulu wrote the recipe, the blogs have photos, I will ask her.

I have looked at the photos Sticki , maybe Lulu is like us when we play a recipe by ear , we get use to knowing how much to put in without even thinking about it ... ...

I'm sure lulu said it was different each time, cos I had trouble when I tried to make it myself the next day!
I have sent lulu a pm.

Just beautiful Amy.....that would make such a fab painting!

Thanks Janey , it would be lovely if I could show it to you one day :o))

Lots of garlic leaves, 50g pine nuts, 50g parmesan and some olive oil and chop it all up together!!!

Thanks Lulu , I guessed it was something like that ! I will pick some garlic leaves next time I go up to the wood :o)

I would love that!.....:)). We are working on a holiday maybe September on the Broads, I'm sure Ian will be feeling stronger by then....:)))))

Fabulous pic Amy, such fantastic colour, I must visit our little wood and see if the bluebells are out:-)

Ooh that sounds great Janey :o))
