Some species grew in the garden others in a place called Kingsway, others were from AONB sites in the Cotswolds nature reserves like edge for example and others from Hucclecote, others from Saintbridge Balanceing Pond and others from other places when Wildlife watching aswell. Wildlife seemed to like alot of these plants, 

  • I see lots in the lanes hat i walk, but never know the names of them.
  • It just takes a good ID book, and camera shot or two and lots of time. Take photos with loads of foliage meaning leaves.

    You will be transfixed in no time at all. Does take patience, time, and observation - sounds like an army camp LOL.

    The first thing to do is to get to know the groups or family of plant's. Once you know the leaves and growth patterns you will get there in the end

    The leaves,are the first point of observation, and the flowers second in that order

    Just enjoy the learning and knowing your wild plants.

    My partner Dave wants to know a lot more about wildflowers and I know a bit (not so good with the garden species though) - a bit meaning enough to get me by

    Just practice.

  • Where we live we are lucky to have a long country lane (going in all directions) with a high dense hedge row, and there are lots of wildflowers to see. Not many people are there and it is lovely and peaceful and most of all relaxing.

    You can walk for a short time and be overwhelmed by the amount of wild flowers you can see. A lot of my photos on this thread will be from the local walkabouts, including the ones posted above are from this area.

    Sure you can post them if you want. I will post aswell. It’s not very helpful for people just writing Wildflowers without any pictures of the species
