There are 297 wild flower plants, whose plant description pages are split into the other 23 WildFlower Family Galleries. This gallery contains the Flower Colour and Fruit/Seed Colour Comparison Pages of those plants. 1115 Wildflower plants have their photos in the relevant family pages.

I am starting to create galleries (January 2016) which instead of Plant Description Pages have a row for every wildflower plant split into galleries of:-

• 73 Common Names in alphabetical order in the Cream Wildflowers Note Gallery
• 82 Botanical Names in alphabetical order in the Brown Wildflowers Note Gallery
• Common Names with Botanical Names in a list within a page in the Blue Wildflowers Note Gallery

for each of the following colours as linked to under Wild Flower in the Main Topic Menu on the left.

Each plant named in each of the Wildflower Family Pages:-

• may have a link to its Plant Description Page in its Common Name in one of those Wildflower Plant Galleries
• and will have links to external sites to purchase the plant or seed in its Botanical Name,
• links to external sites for photos in its Flowering Months and
• links to external sites for habitat details in its Habitat Column.

It might take a while from January 2016 for me to create a NOTE page with its details inserted into its flower colour comparison page and the other comparison pages within this table row; for every wildflower plant detailed in the existing wildflower families within this website. Please have patience!!

If there is no photo or photo link try the following site:-

BioImages - Virtual Field-Guide (UK) to UK Biodiversity offers an enormous collection of photographs of wild species and natural history objects. It covers most groups of organisms with the exception of birds and other vertebrates. Species (and other taxon) web-pages also include lists of trophic relationships abstracted from published sources. These are cross-referenced under both species involved (eg the fungus and its host, or the insect and its foodplant.) Data entry is now reasonably complete for UK fungal hosts (this is now being extended to include exotic fungi on native hosts), but a lot of data remains to be entered for insect foodplants and prey. The photographs and relationships are presented to illustrate biodiversity and foodwebs, and as an aid to identification. For identification purposes the photographs should be used in conjunction with a field-guide or more specialist publication (or web-site). Hopefully, the site will provide visual confirmation of features which are described but not illustrated elsewhere - particular effort has been made to illustrate diagnostic features.

Website User Instructions

If a Plant Comparison Page or Wildlife on Plant Comparison Page has colour photographs of plants or wildlife on plants in it, then (o) is prefixed to that Comparison page title in the Navigation Box for that Section.

In order to compare plants by their attributes (flower colour, fruit or seed, or together with other plants), click on the appropriate attribute listed below the Site Map entry (the Comparison Pages are still under development, so some will have no photographic content and are therefore not listed in the Site Map). The text box below each thumbnail photo on each Comparison Page details the

• Plant Family Page (click on this to get to the Family Page, then click back arrow to get back to the Comparison Page),
• plant name,
• soil moisture (blue background indicates wet soil, white is moist and brown is dry) and
• plant height (border colour blue indicates 0-24 inches (0-60 cms) in height, green is 24-72 inches (60-180 cms), red is above 72 inches (180 cms)).

You can obtain the Plant Description Page of a plant by clicking on the thumbnail photo of that plant in that Comparison Page.

Click on Plant Family Page Name in the sub-navigation box on the right side for photos and name of plants in its Plant Family Page. If you click on the Common Name in the Family Page, the page will be changed to the Plant Description Page.

The rarity of each plant as a wild plant in Britain is shown preceeding the Common Name in its Plant Description Page by the following star system:-

• No Star indicates a common and widely distributed plant like Marsh Marigold
• * for a plant that is only locally common like Grass of Parnassus
• ** for a scarce plant, which usually grow in limited areas like Crested Cow-wheat, but may be thinly scattered over a wide area like Narrow Helleborine
• *** are for real rarities, growing in only a few places, and usually rare even there like Cheddar Pink.
