Me too. I've been pulling off the leaves. I have I industrial quantities! I gave up trying to dig out the bulbs a couple of year ago, when I followed a stem down to my elbow and still hadn't reached it I just chuck the bulbs if I come across them now, pull off the leaves as I see them and forget about them til next year. I'm sort of winning in that they're not increasing.
Yes, been there, done that - just two days ago in fact! We planted lots of English bluebells last autumn and I don't want the existing Spanish ones hybridising with them. OH is under strict orders to pull the flowers off any Spanish ones when she wanders around the garden.
I've chucked the pulled up leaves and stems on the compost heap but I do remember from a previous garden that they are apt to turn to slime fairly quickly so I need to mix some "brown" in there fairly soon.

Thanks for ID
