I have got some white bluebells that have just turned up in my garden even though I have never planted them. Where have they come from I've lived here for 12 years and have never seen them before.

Could be Spanish bluebells they do come in white as well as pink

Thanks,these are just white but I'm wondering why they're here after so long ?

It's probably a mutation in the DNA - bluebells increase in the soil, and sometimes there's a blip in the genetic information, so these ones have come out white. They do come in white anyway, so its not a major mutation, just the code for colour of flower is slightly different from the others.
