Wildflowers

Wildflowers can be found all around us. The immense variety of plants ensures there is always something new to discover wherever we are. However one in five of Britain's wildflowers is threatened with extinction from either intensive farming, habitat loss, climate change or one of the many invasive species that take over a habitat; or simply a combination of these factors. Despite these pressures their tenacity enables them to colonise building sites and waste ground in our urban landscape and adorn the verges of our motorways creating ribbon nature reserves throughout the country. Bluebells and bright yellow Celandine bring our woodlands to life in the Springtime; while at the height of Summer, meadows are vibrant with the colours of buttercup, ox-eye daisy & clovers, all the while the swaying motion of the many varieties of grass seem to make the landscape dance. Our waterways and lakes host a range of interesting plant life too including the rushes, Marsh Marigold and Lilies. The images in our wildflower portfolio should brighten your day, enjoy!
