BLUEBELL~ the most potent plant for fairy magic. Fields of bluebells are said to be so dangerously enchanted by fairies that a child who wanders into one may be held captive there by the fae, and adults who enter bluebell patches may become so enchanted that they are unable to leave until other humans come to lead them out. Plant bluebells to attract fairies to your garden, they are called to their midnight revels by the sound of bluebells chiming. If you hear a bluebell ringing, this indicates the presence of a malicious fairy. On Beltane eve, make an ankle braclet of "Bluebells" and "jingle" bells to attract helpful fae folk to you.
BLUEBELLSWhere the bluebells and the wind are,
Fairies in a ring I spied,
And I heard a little linnet
Singing near beside.
Where the primrose and the dew are,
Soon were sped the fairies all:
Only now the green turf freshens,
And the linnets call.

We don't have bluebells like those pictured, but we do have Virginia bluebells. There was a small patch of them growing wild when I was growing up in Larson. Oh, the thrill of finding those beautiful sky blue flowers.
We had fields of them in England but it's too cold for them here...
I have always loved them and have pictures on my walls of bluebells.
Alas no Bluebells in the desert but I saw them in Ireland. What pretty little faeries enjoying and attending them.
I plaanted some bluebells a couple of years ago in my garden, the follage always comes up, but they never flower, I must have put them in the wrong place.
Ohhh, I just today {June 17} took and posted some pictures of Bluebells. One up-close photo and one, with other wild flowers in the photo. And under the later, I asked; "Be there faeries here?" It just looked like a place, where they might be.
