Yesterday Nyctalus posted some fine pictures of Durham University's magnificent bluebell wood. Here's a picture, also taken yesterday, of another of the same university's woodlands near its North American arboretum. Here the ground flora is dominated by a carpet of greater stitchwort, enlivened by a sprinking of bluebells.
Stitchwort flowers are carried on a very slender stalk, who when the wind blows through the woodland it sends a 'shiver' through the flowers.

The blue and white together is beautiful, even better than just Bluebells.
