Hyacinthoides

I am no bluebell expert, but I do have a habitat picture I took a few years
ago of a Hyacinthoides I suspect is hispanica -- because the "habitat" is a
yard overgrown with Allium triquetrum and Centranthus ruber, with some
Oxalis pes-caprae for good measure. More to the morphological point, it has
nodding scapes, which I vaguely remember differentiating the English from
the Spanish. I'm happy to upload it to the wiki if someone would confirm the
ID:

(Lest the comments there are confusing, I thought the plant was
H.non-scripta at the time).

Where Crocus cartwrightianus and sativa are blooming simultaneously this
week. In past years sativus has been a week or so earlier.

When I was adding this picture to the wiki, I remembered again that
we don't have any photos of the Hycinthoides weedy species,
Hyacinthoides hispanica that so many people grow. I don't have time
to add any pictures for anyone else, but perhaps one of those people
who understand how the wiki works and have a photo might like to supply
one?
