Bridal Bouquets Already

are these bluebells from Scotland, England, Texas, Virginia or Spain?
I have seen a video, but am not sure, so try to expand my brain.
do they grow in hedgerows, grassland or at the edge of a wood?
they are lovely bluish-lavender hyacinths, I would say if I could.

their bright tubular flowers bloom along with tulips, in May.
attracting pollinators like bees, butterflies and moths along their way.
bluebells symbolize gratitude, humility, everlasting love and constancy.
I want them for my bridal bouquet says my six-year-old-cousin Dee.

bridal bouquets already? We older cousins scoff at the silliness of this.
white bluebells symbolize purity says Charlene, reading from a list.
why would they be called bluebells if they are white? I ask.
getting back to the country of origin, a rather daunting task.

I read 'blue balls,' and laughed like a hyena. Sometimes mistakes can lead to a 'positive outcome!'
