Welcome to ukwildflowers.com
This is a photographic record with a personal commentary of some of the plants seen during the annual excursions into the countryside of an amateur field botanist. The countryside of the British Isles is the source of most photographs but European, Australian plants plus a few photographs of butterflies, fungi, birds and other creatures can be found here too.

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
You can find 1,500 photos of British Isles plants including 265 rarities on the site.
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)

In exchange for the use of photographs a link to this site, a reference or some form of recognition would be appreciated.
Screen Resolution and Images
The site was originally designed with a resolution of 1024 x 768 using 32 bit colour but it works at higher resolutions.
A screen resolution typical late of the 1990s (800 x 600) is not recommended because many images are a fixed size and could 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 you want to see the images on this page expanded (also see butterfly and highslide indexes) then you must have scripts enabled in your web browser. The code for this is open source and is provided by Torstein Hønsi at Highslide JS.
