Welcome to ukwildflowers.com
This is a photographic record with a personal commentary of some of the plants seen during the annual wanderings into the British countryside of an amateur field botanist. As it becomes more difficult to add new photos of plants from the British Isles, photographs taken abroad and anything in the natural environment now feature on the site.

The extensive indexing of the site is intended to help those wishing to identify a plant, where it can be found or the time of flowering. There are more indexes on the Sub Indexes page
Currently 1,407 photos of plants found in the British Isles including 235 rarities have been published.
Some photographs were taken at meetings organised by the Wild Flower Society. If you are beginning to take an interest in British Wild Plants then why not join? (Wild Flower Society)

Screen Resolution and Images
The site was originally designed with a resolution of 1024 x 768 using 32 bit colour but it works even better at 1280 x 960/1024 typical of modern TFT screens.
The resolution typical of the Win95 and 98 era (800 x 600) is not recommended as the images are a fixed size and some will be displaced. Some of the newer pages (created in 2007 or later) have thumbnails which will lead to enlarged images with a height of 700 px. These enlarged images are best viewed at 1280 x 960 or higher resolution.
If the images don't show on your screen then this could be a firewall problem. If you use Norton Internet Security follow this guide: Norton Allowed Web Content or another source of info about blocked images: Bob Rankin's pages
