Wait a minute! There should be a disambiguation page at Bluebell instead of a redirect! There is the English Bluebell, the American Bluebell (a flower, the Virginia cowslip, which is part of the "borage" family and is identified by the term bluebell) and the name of a character in Richard Adams' book Watership Down.

That's done. Ilyanep 23:29, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ultraviolet

Perhaps something about the presence of ultraviolet in bluebells would add to this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.155.209.159 (talk) 06:16, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] What eats them?

I planted bluebells in my garden, and at first they seemed to survive, despite an abundance of rabbits, but now they are being eaten. I see deer in my garden frequently - do they eat bluebells? In general it would be useful to have a section on edibility and toxicity for all plants. --Memestream (talk) 14:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] National Flower of Scotland

"The bluebell that is the national flower of Scotland" - Isn't the national flower of Scotland the Scottish thistle? I've never heard of it being a bluebell. Where did this come from? Calmac1991 (talk) 20:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Not this bluebell, but Campanula rotundifolia. I posted the same question on it's Talkpage yesterday, but a quick google turns up a number of links. I'd still like to see a reference that a Scot would be happy with though.... --Bardcom (talk) 21:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
