harebells

Delicate blue wildflowers

Harebells are delicate wildflowers with nodding, bell-shaped blooms, typically blue or violet.

They grow in meadows and rocky areas across the Northern Hemisphere.

In Scotland, harebells are called bluebells—distinct from the English bluebell, which is a different plant entirely.

Harebells dotted the hillside in late summer.
