Wildflowers

This is an incomplete list, as several spring flowers have not been recorded, and some autumn ones are yet to appear. It is difficult to decide what criteria to apply when listing a species – for example should Alchemilla Mollis (Lady’s Mantle) be included. It grows on several plots as a cultivar but it does spread easily. Some species are rather chance occurrences and seem unlikely to be found occurring regularly. As a result the list is somewhat arbitrary, and some species perhaps should be removed, while others could be added.

The list will be updated when new flowers are found.
