Grass Family:-

Grasses" differ from Sedges in having their usually round and never 3-angled stems almost always hollow, except at the swollen leaf-junctions, and their flowers arranged in opposite rows in spikelets, each flower with 2 small bracts. Their leaves are alternate in two rows, usually long, narrow, untoothed, keeled or flat, with parellel veins and sheathing the stem, the lower sheaths usually split on the side opposite the leaf. At the leaf-junction is very often a tiny colour-less flap- or strap-like ligule, a useful diagnostic character best seen by pulling the leaf away from the stem.

The actual flowers are minute, usually with 3 stamens and 2 feathery styles, but not petals or sepals; each flower is enclosed within 2 scale-like bracts (pales) arranged one or more together in a spikelet, at the base of which are 2 more scale-like bracts (glumes). The spikelets (stalked or not) often bear bristles (awns) and are arranged in terminal flower-heads, which vary from small dense cylinders to widely branched sprays. The branched heads may look very different when their branches are spreading in flower, and when they are closed and cylindrical in bud or in fruit. The fruits, not important for identification, are small dry nutlets. " from Collins Pocket Guide to Wild Flowers by David McClintock and R.S.R.

Wildflowers - Clay and rich loam soil mix

There are two main things I want from my wildflower meadow – to look beautiful for months not weeks, with flowers coming out and going over in succession AND to grow pollen-rich, insect friendly plants from EARLY in the year to LATE. I want my patch to be a regular and reliable food source for the birds and the bees. That’s what you’ll get with this beautiful selection of my favourite easy and reliable perennial wild flowers.

'Sort out your soil' - A practical guide to Green Manures, and Frequently Asked Questions from the Receptionist Myrtle of Cotswold Grass Seeds.

 

UKButterflies Larval Foodplants website page lists the larval foodplants used by British butterflies. The name of each foodplant links to a Google search. An indication of whether the foodplant is a primary or secondary food source is also given.

Please note that the Butterfly you see for only a short time has grown up on plants as an egg, caterpillar and chrysalis for up to 11 months, before becoming a butterfly. If the plants that they live on during that time are removed, or sprayed with herbicide, then you will not see the butterfly.
 

Topic - Wildlife on Plant Photo Gallery.

Some UK native butterflies eat material from UK Native Wildflowers and live on them as eggs, caterpillars (Large Skipper eats False Brome grass - Brachypodium sylvaticum - for 11 months from July to May as a Caterpillar before becoming a Chrysalis within 3 weeks in May) chrysalis or butterflies ALL YEAR ROUND.
Please leave a small area in your garden for wildflowers to grow without disturbance throughout the year for the benefit of butterflies, moths and other wildlife who are dependant on them.

From Sarah Ravens Kitchen & Garden:-

Wildflowers - Clay and rich loam soil mix

There are two main things I want from my wildflower meadow – to look beautiful for months not weeks, with flowers coming out and going over in succession AND to grow pollen-rich, insect friendly plants from EARLY in the year to LATE. I want my patch to be a regular and reliable food source for the birds and the bees. That’s what you’ll get with this beautiful selection of my favourite easy and reliable perennial wild flowers.

Edible Plants Club website

"has been created largely from the point of view of a plantsman interested in the many different resources available in the plant world, especially edible and medicinal plants.

What started me off on this path was reading Robert Harts book Forest Gardening and then Ken Fearns Plants for a Future and also Richard Mabeys 'Food For Free' along the way. This also led to me to change my career and become a gardener."
