Hello all
Could you help me to identify this pretty flower please?
And what do you think these blue flowering plants are?
Are they Bluebells? I planted many alliums around in this area
but they don't look like alliums to me. They just look like very well fed bluebells.

The top one is a saxifrage and the blue ones are bluebells...... The Spanish ones.
The first is a saxifrage.
The second picture is of Spanish bluebells. They're inter-breeding with our native bluebells, so if you have a native bluebell wood nearby you might consider getting rid of your Spanish ones.

Thank you so much for the fast reply!
I'll get rid of the bluebell stright away.
Cheers!
Saxifrage is a lovely perennial, very easy to propagate too. I have loads, fairly slug resistant and happy in partial shade.
Along with the saxifrage, you have a trailing nepeta (you might have already known this?)
Sorry, Patsy - definitely Spanish Bluebell (Hyacinthoides hispanica) like Kitty and Dove said - not Muscari.
