Spanish bluebell (Hyacinthoides hispanica) at Broomhill Allotments, Glasgow, an invasive non-native species (INNS), taken by Joanna Lindsay. In comparison to the native 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 these non-native Spanish bluebells have pale-green or blue pollen.
Because of their ability to hybridise with the native bluebell, they are seen as a threat to the native species.
