Bluebell

This big shrub grows up to 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall and lives for decades, with the oldest known specimen being around 171 years old. It is not very resistant to disease and destructive insect infestation.

It has many slender, twisting stems covered in delicate, knobbly, dark brown bark, and the wood inside is white with black speckles.

The branches trail down to the ground with thousands of twigs that and are covered with small bunches of small, perforated, leaves with rounded edges. The leaves themselves are olive on the sides and yellow at the center, tough and waxy.

In mid-spring it produces dozens of medium-sized, blue flowers with 3 oblong shaped petals. They are sturdy and have a scent that varies in strength that smells like something putrid.
