This site was created in 2003 by John Somerville and, as a result of his dedication and that of numerous contributing photographers, it now lists 2014 different plant species (not including grasses, sedges, rushes and ferns).  It is hoped that this total can exceed 2100 in the next few years and that the British Wild Flowers website will display good quality pictures of almost all the flowers found across Britain and Ireland. 

We need your help to complete this project: if you have pictures covering new plants - or different aspects of existing plants - and would like your pictures displayed on the site, please send us an email. It would help if you keep the size of each picture below 700k and include its name and a rough description of where and when it was taken. (After re-sizing the final image will be between 40k to 300k).

Photographs are displayed with the photographer's name, location and the date it was taken. All photographs displayed on British Wild Flowers remain the property of the original photographers. Any requests to use photographs will be passed on to the original photographers for them to action.

The site isn't going anywhere and is now being run by Lynsey Crellin and Tom Squires under the guidance of John, and work is being done to get the site fully functional once again! Bearing this in mind, if any of you happen to be technical wizards, then feel free to get in touch via email and offer any support you can

Please email any photos to Lynsey & Tom at mail@british-wild-flowers.co.uk and we will endeavour to include them as soon as possible!
