Pilbara Bluebells

Bluebells are normally a sign of Europe - somewhere. United kingdom, I don't really know. But they make me think of Beatrix Potter, perfect English gardens and forests with foxes and rabbits.

In the Pilbara, we have what most people call Bluebells - but they are Pilbara style. Tough, rough, hardy and glowing in the morning sun.

It's quite funny, I uploaded this photo to ABC Open Pic of the Week when I took it (the rules are you have to put up photos taken that week). It got picked up by ABC News and went onto their Facebook page across the country and there was quite a debate on what these flowers actually were. Funny thing was I did actually research (briefly) what the name of these gems were and found 'Rough Bluebell'. I think this matches perfectly so that's what I'm sticking with.
