So many beautiful flowers in the UK, what is the closest equivalent to the Texas Bluebonnet in Spring?

The Texas Bluebonnet is a type of lupine.
There are many lupines available in the UK but I don't know if any look like the bluebonnet.
Have you tried planting bluebonnets?
Don't know how well they will do there, they might not get enough light there & might get too much water but it might be woth a try.

Blue Bells: Native Bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), or Wild Hyacinths as they are known in Scotland, are … more …Bluebells – … that most quintessentially British of wildflowers. The UK is home to half of the world’s total population and the intense blue-violet haze that carpets our woodlands is an unforgettable sight in May.
