This low spreading annual plant has sprawling stems that gradually harden and become rigid, hence its scientific specific name rigida. The flowers of Rayless Chamomile are usually yellow, sometimes flushed with pink, and the stems and leaves of the plant are slightly hairy.
Distribution Found in the eastern Mediterranean region of Europe, Anthemis rigida is particularly common in Crete but is also often found in Greece and Cyprus.
Habitat and Blooming Times Rayless Chamomile grows in rocky, stony or sandy places, and although occasionally found inland it is most common in coastal areas. This member of the Daisy family, asteraceae (formerly known as the compositae) blooms from February through until May.
Taxonomy Anthemis, the genus name, comes from the Greek anthemon, meaning flower, and indicates that this plant produces many flowers. The specific epithet rigida implies, just as it sounds, that the flower stems eventually become hard and rigid.

This summer-blooming wildflower ot the carrot family apiaceae (formerly known as the umbelliferae) is closely related to the garden plant Angelica archangelica that is used for culinary purposes - indeed, until the 20th century Wild Angelica was widely used as a vegetable.
Distribution Angelica sylvestris is common and widespread across Britain and Ireland apart from very dry regions in the south east, where it is an occasional find. This plant is native to Europe and Asia and is found also in eastern North America, where it is considered an invasive weed.
Habitat and Blooming Times Wild Angelica grows in damp places, and in particular beside lakes and streams; this wildflower can reach a height of two metres but more commonly grows to about a metre tall. In Britain Angelica sylvestrist blooms mainly in July and August, although in sheltered sunny locations flowers can appear from early June onwards.
Wild Angelica is a perennial plant, and its purplish stems and bracts (shown on the left) are almost hairless, which helps distinguish it from the rather earlier-flowering Hogweed Heracleum sphondylium.

Wood Anemones are indicators of ancient woodlands, where they are among the most abundant and attractive of spring wildflowers. Identification Anemone nemorosa is a perennial and grows to a height of about 15cm. The leaves, which die back once the plants have flowered and set seeds, are palmately lobed - very much like the leaves of the majority of other members of the Buttercup family, Ranunculaceae.
The size of the flower heads is very variable; on the edge of the wood they can be twice the average size of 2cm diameter when fully open. Often opening pinkish-mauve colour and gradually turnbrilliant white, the flowers each have six or seven tepals (petals and sepals), but exceptionally they can have up to ten. These flowers,stand out particularly well in springtime, because the main leaves do not appear until after blooming is completed. Wood anemones propagate mainly by means of creeping underground rhizomes. Distribution Common and widespread in Britain and Ireland, Wood Anemones are found also throughout most of mainland Europe except for the very dry and sandy southern parts of the Mediterranean region. This gregarious wildflower has also been introduced to many other regions of the world, including North America.
Habitat These star-like wildflowers line rural hedgerows and carpet the floors of deciduous forests and woods. Blooming Times Wood Anemone blooms from March to May Pollination Wood Anemones are pollinated by a wide range of insects, but research in Germany has shown hoverflies to be particularly important pollinators of this species.
Uses Although it has largely fallen out of popular use, in the past Anemone nemorosa was used by herbalists in remedies for a range of ailments from mere headaches through to leprosy!

Distribution The Criown Anemone is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe, but because of its beauty this lovely wildflower has been taken in to cultivation and can be seen in parks and gardens in many other parts of the world.
In 2013 Anemone coronaria was chosen as Israel's national flower. Habitat and Blooming Times Anemones generally shun dry places, and so woodland edges and damp grassland are places where these kinds of flowers are most likely to be seen. Anemone coronaria blooms from January to April and can be found on roadsides, meadows and the grassy slopes in the hills.
The Crown Anemone Anemone coronaria is the most common of the many anemone species that occur in the Mediterranean region of Europe, where they are frequently grown in gardens as well as being found in the wild.

Identification Unlike other daisy-like flowers, plants of the genus Andryala have large 'petals' on all florets and not just those on the periphery flower head. The plant is extremely hairy and has barrel-shaped buds surrounded with a neatly-arranged single row of hairy bracts.
Growing to between 30 and 75cm in height with branching stems covered in dense, soft white down that gives an overall whitish appearance to the plant, Andryala integrifolia has alternate lanceolate hairy leaves that are often corrugated (with wrinkled wavy margins). The flowers are hermaphrodite (posessing both male and female reproductive organs), and they are a delicate lemon yellow. Flowers are grouped into corymbs (loose clusters) of typically three to nine composite heads, each head being in the range 1.5 to 8cm across, but most commonly between 2.5 and 5cm across. Distribution This wildflower is seen throughout the Mediterranean region. Well known in the Iberian Peninsula, where it is both widespread and common, Andryala integrifolia can be found from north Africa as far east as Greece, Sicily and Italy.
Habitat This lovely wildflower tends to frequent rather sandy or rocky ground, but it can also be found on heaths, in abandoned farmland, and on some stony roadside verges. Blooming Times In the Mediterranean region where it is native, Andryala blooms from April to July.
Uses A toxic latex within this plant contains hydrogen cyanide, and so no parts of Andryala should ever be eaten.

Distribution This startlingly blue wildflower can be found throughout the Mediterranean region on roadsides, in abandoned fields and in olive groves. When the flower buds first appear they are purple and coiled opening gradually to a deep ultramarine.
Habitat and Blooming Times Large Blue Alkanet is a member of the borage family (Boraginaceae) of plants and copes well with dry sunny locations; it blooms from March until June.
Borage, cultivated in herb gardens in the UK and used as an attractive addition to the fruit cup Pimms, is a close relative to this lovely wildflower.
The position of wildflowers in the family Boraginaceae, which includes the alkanets, forget-me-knots and of course Borage itself, is still not determined. Some people place these flowers in the orderr Lamiales while others have designated them as Boraginales. We, like many, simoly mark the whole family as Insertae sedis.

So waxy and beautifully veined, these delightful little flowers are quite unlike most other members of the Primrose family. Identification Once you get to see it at close quarters, this wildflower is quite unmistakable. Flowers are 6 to 10mm across with usually 5 to 7 lilac-pink round petals patterned with longitudinal red veins; they are backed by pointed short sepals. The centres contain a tangled mass of filamentous stamens.
Along the prostrate red-tinged stems are opposite pairs of leaves on shortish stalks; most leaves are roundish but some are shaped like the Ace of Spades. A single flower grows on a short up-turned slender stalk at the end of each creeping stem, but when in full bloom the flowers of Bog Pimpernel all but obliterate the leaves, so densely are they packed together.. Distribution In Britain and Ireland this lovely little wildflower is localised in the south and west; it is also found in Ireland where it is also most common on the western side. Bog Pimpernel is found throughout most of Europe except in the far north and in arid parts of the south. Its range extends eastwards into Asia, but this wildflower is not native to North America.
Habitat Anagallis tenella generally favours damp and acidic peaty substrates, but it can also be found in alkaline coastal dune slacks. As with all marsh and wetland plants, the enemy of Bog Pimpernel is land drainage. Blooming Times In Britain and Ireland Bog Pimpernel produces dense mats of flowers that open fully on sunny days from May right through to September.
Uses Don't even think of picking these flowers; they are extremely fragile and likely to break as soon as they are touched. Cultivated forms of Bog Pimpernel are available from specialist garden centres and nurseries, and they make wonderful additions to any bog garden or to the waterlogged margin of a small pond.

This lovely deep blue-to-purple flower is related to the Scarlet Pimpernel, Anagallis arvensis, with which we are so familiar in Britain and Ireland and which can also, confusingly, occur in a blue-flowered form.
Identification This low-growing shrubby branching perennial has opposite or whorled oval or lanceolate leaves on round-sectioned stems. As well as the common blue form shown here, red, pink and white colour variants of this species also occur. The flowers, which have five unlobed petals, can form mats so dense that te leaves are all but obscured.
Distribution Shrubby Pimpernel is a native of the Iberian Peninsula, Sardinia, Sicily and North Africa and appears in rather dry habitats such as stable sand dunes and banks but can sometimes be found in open woodland too. Habitat Ribbons and large patches of Shrubby Pimpernel are wonderful sights on dry roadside verges and the banks of steep-sided cuttings. This wildflower also grows in colourful clumps in coastal garrigue habitats such as the wonderfully diverse pin-cushion floral landscape along the cliff tops at Cape St Vincent, in the southwest corner of Portugal.
A member of the Primrose family (Primulaceae), the flowers can sometimes be red or pink, and Shrubby Pimpernel is frequently encouraged as a garden plant. Blooming Times In the wild Shrubby Pimpernel forms dense mats of glorious blue flowers from March to June.

Many people are very surprised to learn that Scarlet Pimpernel is a member of the Primrose family (Primulaceae) - as indeed are also the Yellow Pimpernel Lysimachia nemorum and its close relative CreepingJenny Lysimachia nummularia.
Identification This low-growing annual wildflower has square stems, and its oval pointed leaves are black-dotted underneath. The flowers of Scarlet Pimpernel, which are rarely more than 10 to 12mm across and have five sepals (commonly referred to as the petals), open in mid morning, but they close again long before the sun begins to set.
Occasionally you may come across blue-petalled variants of this lovely little wildflower; once in a while we encounter both colour forms growing together (but the two flower colours are always on separate plants). In June 2014 during a visit to Slovenia we came across plenty of Scarlet Pimpernel (brick red form) lining the verges of a main road, and among these prolific conventional plants were numerous with pale mauve flowers. These were not fading red or blue flowers, as several were seen at the bud stage as well as many more in their prime. Other colour forms although seen rather infrequently include maroon, flesh pink, and lilac.
Distribution Scarlet Pimpernel occurs throughout Britain and Ireland and is a very common wildflower - often referred to as a 'weed of cultivation' because it appears most often in farmed fields and gardens and on disturbed wasteland. Even some World War II bomb sites became colonised by this plant. Habitat Well drained, sandy places are the favoured habitat of this lovely little flower, which thrives in cultivated soil. We have also seen Scarlet Pimpernel growing in sandy meadows beside spate rivers in Wales. Blooming Times In Britain and Ireland Scarlet Pimpernel can be found in flower from May right through to the end of October, but it is usually at its best in June, July and August. Uses In old Herbals dating back to the 16th century, Scarlet Pimpernel was used for many dubious purposes both cosmetic (as a skin cream) and medicinal, including to produce potions for countering the effects of being bitten by mad dogs.
