    I noticed the other day in my local copse that there's a small clump of white bluebells and with one pink bluebell in the middle but all the rest are the normal blue I was just wondering if anyone could tell me why? are they hybrids? or just abnormalities?

    Spanish bluebells...rip them out. They are taking over from our native bluebells!

    Not nessesarilly, some of our native Bluebels can naturally be pink or white.

    I'm pretty sure they are actually native as the stems aren't short and robust like Spanish bluebells (from what I cant recall), I'm pretty sure they were small and drooped towards the top..

    I'd be interested too as we have native bluebells in our garden and last season some pink ones appeared
