Bluebells are small blue flowers that coat the floor of English woolands in early spring. They grow from a bulb, a store of food left behind in the ground by the previous year's growth. This means that the plant can start to grow quickly and they are ready to flower in early spring. This means they have grown in months when there is little leaf on the trees and so they get maximum light. If they were to grow later in the year, it is probable that the tree cover would starve them of light and they would be unable to photosynthesize.
In spring, they all flower together, increasing the chances of insect pollination. Then they all die back, being starved of light they can no longer prosper and so they store their excess food in bulbs for next year.

Bluebells are mostly found in woodlands, but are also found in hedgerows.
Bluebells spring annually. They spend the spring soaking up energy from the sunlight and store the energy in their bulb over winter.
Their leaves and flowers die off so they are also protected from frost and snow beneath the soil.
Bluebells have contractile roots, which pull the bulb deeper and deeper into the soil with every year of growth. This protects the bulb from frost, which starts from the soil surface, and temperate fluctuations, and provides better access to water in drought conditions.
