Green shoots on the woodland floor

These green shoots resembling chives are Crow Garlic (Allium vineale).  Rabbits or deer have been nibbling these.  


And the popular NATIVE bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scriptus) which are spreading through Filnore Woods where the conditions are right.


Note the narrow leaves which show they are native bluebells, 

whereas these rather broader, pointed leaves are of Ramsons or Wild Garlic (Allium ursinum)

Pick one and have a sniff if you're not sure.
