Bluebells - what sort?

They've just appeared naturally in my garden, I'd assumed Spanish but now looking at identification charts I'm not so sure?

I would say hybrid. This is my English bluebells I brought from a licensed company.

The flowers are all around the stem rather than on one side (which makes the classic English bluebell drooping look). But the end is less upright than a Spanish, so I’d say hybrid.

Hybrid. Flower bell shaped rather than tubular with flicked up petal tips as in raindancer’s photo.

Ignore pictures of Spanish - according to botanists it’s very rare in Britain. Almost all non-native are hybrids, and so of course are very variable.
