Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
Hyacinthoides hispanica, or Spanish bluebell, grows wild in Portugal, Spain and north-west Africa. This bulbous plant of the family Asparagaceae, formerly named Scilla hispanica, develops strap-shaped foliage and a sturdy stem bearing, in April-May, 12 to 15 pendulous bell-shaped flowers, generally blue-lavender, arranged all around the stem. More vigorous and less scented than the British bluebell, it naturalises easily in cool, well-drained soil, in half-shade, forming beautiful colonies over the years.
