Shimmering dainty bells dangle from slender stems
tissue-blue, translucent, delicate,
'fairy-skirts' playing in the meadow
light and happy:
likened by Rossetti to trembling hope –
but trembling hope is living, strong
and so my fragile harebells too
have vigour and vitality surprising

Must be amazing to see in real life! But in the photo more a purple/pink than "blue?

Something men don't understand - all women love flowers!

Maybe men just don't talk about it so much! 

I suppose there maybe a touch of puprle, it probably varies. I don't think I've ever seen a pink one, though I think they sometimes occur. Rhiannon
