Hyacinthoides-Also called Bluebells or Wood Hyacinth.

It is said "Fairies are summoned to their midnight revels and dance to the ringing of these tiny flowers"

I figure with flashlight in hand I will soon know who the mysterious tag fairy is.

Bluebells-These are spring flowering bulbs that are planted in the fall. They like a cool place, under trees or shrubs. A soil deep, and rich in humus. Bluebells grow 8-12 inches tall. Stems grow from a wide grass clump, there are little bells hanging from the stem. They come in white, pink and blue.
