Get Thee to the Hallerbos!

Yes! The time has come! The bluebells have emerged in the Hallerbos a bit later this year than last, but they are up and the forest is beginning to glow in all its purple glory! If you live in Belgium, and have not yet had the chance to visit this wonder, you just, simply, must. Last Saturday I took my daughter and her boyfriend for a look. There were still a lot of the white wood anemones about and the bluebells were not yet at their peak. But it was still beautiful.

Predictions are that this week will see the bluebells in their prime. This website – http://www.hallerbos.be/en/bloom-bluebells/flowering-season-2015/ – has been invaluable to me as I check the growth process. I have been out twice already (see this post as my alter ego, Arklahoma Muse on the Hallerbos in White)different times to see the different stages, and I plan on returning at least two more times before the season is through. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the rain that is predicted for this weekend does not materialize (or blows through overnight)!
