Imagine being able to lose you in the middle of a forest, full of flowers, of color, in the middle of nature and whose only companion is the sound of the hustle and bustle of the leaves. It may seem like a distant dream, but getting lost among trees, buds and bushes is easier than you think.

Although these delicate flowers are found throughout western Europe , half are concentrated in the forests of the United Kingdom. The result are bluish-purple colored cloaks that look like something out of a fairy tale.
National Trust, the British association dedicated to conserving this type of place, wanted to show us and bring us a piece of this hypnotic postcard. A twenty-minute video in which to enjoy the tinkling of the trees, the wind swaying the leaves and these small and typical flowers , which seem to be the work of Monet himself.

DELICATE AS A... FLOWER
Why are bluebells such a precious commodity? This type of flower is a protected variety, and not on a whim. The bells usually take between five and seven years to establish , but the slightest interaction with them can cause the plant to die.
For this reason, in these forests it is requested pay special attention to the path we walk on . Not to mention that, of course, it is illegal to collect or dig up wild bluebells . Their extreme delicacy makes planting them on their own very difficult, since during the first years, they may not flower.
However, these flowers are not only responsible for creating bucolic landscapes, but also play a very important role in forest ecosystems . They are the favorites of pollinating insects such as butterflies or bees , which are attracted by their striking colors, which makes their conservation even more essential.
In short, the bells are a spectacle, and not only visually speaking. During the walk granted by the National Trust, you can see extensive violet carpets or these small flowers in detail . It is at that moment that you realize its thin and tall stems leaning to one side, its curved purple petals at the opening and its white pollen.
Probably the only thing you want when you finish is set course for these magical forests to be able to admire them , yes, with extreme care. Soon we will be able to do it. While, we will take this virtual tour as a gift from nature, another of many.
