biome plant

one plant is the bluebells. The bluebell flower is a spring flowering perennial plant that grows best from bulbs and belongs to the family of Lilies. Bluebells are often confused with Hyacinthus, probably because it's believed to have been evolved from wild species of Hyacinthus, Iris, etc. Whether grown alone or in a mass, these flowers can put up quite a dazzling display, no wonder they are a spring favorite. Not only are they a gardener's favored spring bulbous flower, their tattoo is popular among tattoo enthusiasts too.

These flowers grow from bulb and seeds, and in an upright position, until the weight of the flowers bears the plant down. New narrow deep green leaves are usually erect, between 20-40cms long and 7-15mm wide that grow on 10-30cms long stems. The flower spikes begin to develop by March end, are 20-50cms high, depending upon the cultivar. All the flowers generally will grow on only one side of the stem, and are pendulous, tubular with the petals curved outward only at the end, giving it a bell shaped appearance, hence the name. The flowers are arranged in a raceme (a line of flowers growing close to each other), with each raceme bearing between 6 and 20 flowers. Traditionally, the flowers are in hues of blue, purple or violet, but one can find some very pleasing cultivated flowers colors too, in shades of white or pink, and sometimes with cream colored anthers. One amazing characteristic of the blue bell flower is its sweet fragrance, from which its essence is derived.this is a pick of a bluebell. i got this pick and facts on buzzle.com.
