COMMON TYPES OF BRITISH WILDFLOWERS
From delightful daisies, cheerful cornflowers, and Mother Natureâs favourite â the bluebell â there are so many wonderful wildflowers that make our countryside just that little bit brighter.
As if we couldnât love those little sprouts of heaven even more, wildflowers also provide food for insects from their leaves, pollen and nectar. They also make great places for insects to shelter and breed.
Blooming in the fields since spring, wildflowers let us know that sunnier days are coming. Vivid purple wildflowers include the Meadow Cranesbill, whose big flowers tell you that midsummer has arrived. Or the delicate harebell, also known as the Bluebell of Scotland.
Other types of wildflowers include brilliant yellow wildflowers, such as cowslip or kingcups, bound to lift your mood even on a rainy day (hello, British summers!). Weâve looked at some of the best wildflowers for bees, butterflies and you. So why not read on for some floral inspo or just to see what makes wildflowers so wonderful?
