I found these today.
Is this danish scurvygrass, the flowers were very pink tinged.

2) Is this Spanish bluebell? But the leaves were very very pale. There were 2 of these,

and apologies for the bad photo of 2, it was with my phone.

The first one's definitely Danish Scurvygrass, but No. 2 didn't strike me as being a bluebell at all? Perhaps it's just the photo - but my first thought would have been the young foliage of a Montbretia, Crocosmia, sp?

In any case I tend to leave bluebells & the like well alone until there's at least the beginnings of a flower to help out

Apparently most of the escapes in the countryside are actually hybrids (Hyacinthoides x massartiana) between the wild & Spanish bluebells, anyway
