Photographing Bluebells, Ireland in May

May is one of the most scenic months in Ireland, woodlands are carpeted with the colour of bluebells.

The Irish bluebell, Hyacinthoides non-scripta, is found growing wild throughout the Irish countryside in April and May, along road sides in hedgerows, in forests and anywhere with a bit of shade.

Usually sunlight wouldn't add to a woodland image like this, but patches of early morning or late evening light can create depth through a photograph of bluebells in a green forest scene.

Pictured here, May 2025. 

It's too late to photograph bluebells now for 2025 in Ireland so why not join me to photograph Hyacynthoides non-scripta in Ireland in 2026.
