How are bluebells adapted to where they live?

Answer 1

Bluebells: They are small delicate blue flowers that coat the floor of the English woodlands in early spring. Grown from a bulb, the bulb is a store of food left behind in the ground by the previous year's growth. This means that the plant can start to grow quickly and they are ready to flower in the early spring. They have grown in months when there is little leaf on the trees and so they get maximum light. If they were to grow later in the year, it is probable that the tree would starve them of light and they would be unable to photosynthesize.

In the spring, they all flower together, increasing the chances of insect pollination. Then they all die back, being starved of light they can no longer prosper and so they store their excess food for next year rather than produce above ground growth.

Answer 2

There are three kinds of bluebirds - western, eastern and mountain.

Eastern Bluebirds prefer to nest in woodlands near meadows and can be found from eastern North America through Canada, as far west as Saskatchewan and the Great Plains states, south to eastern New Mexico.

Mountain Bluebirds can be found in higher elevations (above 5,000 feet) of western North America, from east-central Alaska, east to Manitoba and the Dakotas, south to Southern California, northern Arizona, and southern New Mexico.

Western bluebirds live where grasslands and woodlands meet and their range is western North America from southern British Columbia, east to the Rockies, and south to southern California and western Texas to Mexico.
