I also like Harebells as well, beautiful delicate flowers found on the moors near where I live. Individually I think they are prettier than Bluebells but they never come in those vast scented carpets [ Spanish bluebells have no scent, another reason not to grow them] that you find in the woods that has that kind of overwhelming affect. I also get that feeling from huge masses of gorse.
The gorse has been looking superb on the lower slopes of the hills recently Invicta. I've been admiring it on a regular basis. Not something many people do admire!
The harebells are a real feature on our hills GD-very common, but stunning when there's early morning mist on them like in my pic. I'm very tempted to get some for the garden.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I've been enjoying the gorse flowers - there's lots on the light soil along the East Anglian coast - they've been blooming all winter but just now the bushes are absolutely covered
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Fairy.....harebells are gorgeous and something that reminds me of my childhood. I really should get some for my garden. Gorse reminds me of Scotland too and the lovely smell of coconut it gives off on a warm day. I liked the wild broom too. Happy days I do have English bluebells in my garden and I like them
I have bought some harebell seeds and am going to have a go at growing them in my garden. As I am on heavy clay I will have to create an artifically well drained spot for them, not proper wild flower gardening I know but I have succumbed to my craving.

Well done Invicta - good luck with them
I think I might go for the plugs - and cross my fingers
