	BBC - Science & Nature - Articles - The bluebell's demise
		The bluebell's success stems from its ability to bloom early and then grow rapidly and produce a new bulb before the tree canopy closes and shades the woodland floor.
		But if the predicted mild winters materialise - and all the signs are that they're already with us - the bluebell will lose its competitive edge over other woodland species, as their period of rapid growth shifts closer to that of the bluebell.
		The word 'common' is more than just an indication of abundance of wildflowers - it also implies that they're an integral part of our everyday, common collective experience.
