Hyacinthoides non-scripta
Having bought 10 bulbs sold as English Bluebell, how is it possible to prevent hybridisation with the neighbour's Spanish strain? Do I put up signs for the bees stating 'No admittance to bees who have collected pollen from Spanish bluebells within the last 24 hours?'
I know the neighbour's are Spanish cos I've seen them 
The bluebells I mean, not the neighbours...

I don't see how you can stop them crossing Fishy. Maybe not let yours seed, just wait for the bulbs to spread.
In the sticks near Peterborough
I've nothing against the Spanish strain, its just when a species is threatened that's it...its gone for good. But then others may say its evolution albeit aided by man once again
Raccoons as well now Jo if today's newspaper is anything to go by
Six foot high towers, mesh fencing, razor wire and 2 alsatian dogs patrolling, and for night time, solar lights.
I think Nut has the right idea, as soon as you see the flowers start to die, cut them off and throw them away, in the bin, then they won't drop seed.
