What an entitled stingy bitch! Good for you Philippa.👏🏻 Even I know that bluebells are protected. "The bluebell is protected in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981, so please don't pick or uproot the plants, and be careful not to trample over woodland flowers!They might be iconic at this time of year, but if you pick daffodils of bluebells from spots such as public parks this spring you could actually face imprisonment or an eye-watering £5,000 fine.""Are bluebells poisonous?All parts of the bluebell plant contain toxic glycosides that are poisonous to humans, dogs, horses and cattle. If any part of the plant is eaten, it can cause serious stomach upset, and if consumed in large quantities, may be fatal. The bulbs are easily mistaken for spring onions or garlic. Bluebell sap is believed to cause dermatitis and skin irritation. All varieties of bluebells contain glycosides, and therefore all varieties are poisonous.""Is it illegal to pick or dig up bluebells?Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) it is an offence to uproot any wild plant without the landowner’s permission. Bluebells are offered additional protection, making it illegal to pick or uproot wild bluebells to sell, even from your own land."
