Glasgow - Broomhill, Jordanhill Claythorn and Bingham's Pond
Hybrid bluebells (Hyacinthoides x massartiana), on an allotment in Broomhill, Glasgow, are a combination of the British and Spanish bluebell. In the Spanish bluebell, the flowers are more upright (they don't droop over), they are on all sides of the main stem instead of concentrated on one side, they have a more open bell-shape with less curving and often lighter blue petals. Native bluebells have creamy white pollen, while non-native Spanish bluebells have pale-green or blue pollen. These bluebells have a combination of the characteristics of the native and Spanish types, e.g. they droop but have greenish pollen.
