Wildflower
A wildflower (or wild flower) is a flower that grows in the wild, rather than being intentionally seeded or planted. The term implies that the plant is neither a hybrid nor a selected cultivar that is any different from the native plant, even if it is growing where it would not naturally be found. The term can refer to the whole plant, even when not in bloom, and not just the flower. "Wildflower" is an imprecise term. More exact terms include: * native species naturally occurring in the area (see flora) * exotic or introduced species not native to the area, including ** invasive species that out-compete other plants, whether native or not ** imported (introduced to an area whether deliberately or accidentally) ** naturalized (imported, but come to be considered by the public as native) In the United Kingdom, the organization Plantlife International instituted the "County Flowers scheme" in 2002; see County flowers of the United Kingdom for which members of the public nomin ...

Native Plant
In biogeography, a native species is indigenous to a given region or ecosystem if its presence in that region is the result of only local natural evolution (though often popularised as "with no human intervention") during history. The term is equivalent to the concept of indigenous or autochthonous species. A wild organism (as opposed to a domesticated organism) is known as an introduced species within the regions where it was anthropogenically introduced. If an introduced species causes substantial ecological, environmental, and/or economic damage, it may be regarded more specifically as an invasive species. A native species in a location is not necessarily also endemic to that location. Endemic species are ''exclusively'' found in a particular place. A native species may occur in areas other than the one under consideration. The terms endemic and native also do not imply that an organism necessarily first originated or evolved where it is currently found. Notion The notion ...

Centaurea Cyanus
''Centaurea cyanus'', commonly known as cornflower or bachelor's button (among other names), is an annual flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to Europe. In the past, it often grew as a weed in cornfields (in the broad sense of "corn", referring to grains, such as wheat, barley, rye, or oats), hence its name. It is now endangered in its native habitat by agricultural intensification, particularly by over-use of herbicides. However, ''Centaurea cyanus'' is now also naturalised in many other parts of the world, including North America and parts of Australia through introduction as an ornamental plant in gardens and as a seed contaminant in crop seeds. Description ''Centaurea cyanus'' is an annual plant growing to tall, with grey-green branched stems. The leaves are lanceolate and long. The flowers are most commonly an intense blue colour and arranged in flowerheads (capitula) of 1.5–3 cm diameter, with a ring of a few large, spreading ray florets surround ...

Digitalis Purpurea
''Digitalis purpurea'', the foxglove or common foxglove, is a toxic species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae, native to and widespread throughout most of temperate Europe. It has also naturalized in parts of North America, as well as some other temperate regions. The plant is a popular garden subject, with many cultivars available. It is the original source of the heart medicine digoxin (also called digitalis or digitalin). This biennial plant grows as a rosette of leaves in the first year after sowing, before flowering and then dying in the second year (i.e., it is monocarpic). It generally produces enough seeds so that new plants will continue to grow in a garden setting. Description ''Digitalis purpurea'' is an herbaceous biennial or short-lived perennial plant. The leaves are spirally arranged, simple, long and broad, and are covered with gray-white pubescent and glandular hairs, imparting a woolly texture. The foliage forms a tight rosette ...

It is introduced into many countries in Europe and Asia. It often grows in disturbed areas such as roadsides and cultivated fields. Description Growing quickly, ''Coreopsis tinctoria'' attains heights of . Its leaves are pinnately-divided, Glossary of botanical terms#glabrous, glabrous and tend to thin at the top of the plant where numerous flower heads sit atop slender stems. Flower heads are brilliant yellow with maroon or brown disc florets of various sizes. Flowering typically occurs in mid-summer. The small, slender seeds germinate in fall (overwintering as a low rosette) or early spring. Ray florets have not ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rosebay Willowherb
''Chamaenerion angustifolium'' is a perennial herbaceous flowering plant in the willowherb family, Onagraceae. It is known in North America as fireweed and in Britain and Ireland as rosebay willowherb. It is also known by the Synonym (taxonomy), synonyms ''Chamerion angustifolium'' and ''Epilobium angustifolium''. It is native throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere, including large parts of the boreal forests. Description The reddish stems of this herbaceous perennial are usually simple, erect, smooth, high with scattered alternate leaves. The leaves are spirally arranged, entire, narrowly lanceolate, and pinnately veined, the secondary leaf veins anastomosing, joining together to form a continuous marginal vein just inside the leaf margins. The inflorescence is a symmetrical terminal raceme that blooms progressively from bottom to top, producing a gracefully tapered shape.

Dianthus Barbatus
''Dianthus'' ( ) is a genus of about 340 species of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, native mainly to Europe and Asia, with a few species in north Africa and in southern Africa, and one species (''D. repens'') in arctic North America.

Callirhoe Involucrata
''Callirhoe involucrata'' is a species of flowering plant in the Malvaceae, mallow family known by the common names purple poppy-mallow, winecupSusan Mahr"Winecups, Callirhoe involucrata."Wisconsin Horticulture, Division of Extension. Retrieved 15 June 2023. and buffalo rose. It is native to the Great Plains of the United States and adjacent areas in northern Mexico. The leaves and stems die back in winter, showing at most a small rosette of green leaves immediately above the root crown. Cultivation The purple poppy-mallow is one of the most faithful plants in production of vivid blankets of colors according to writer Claude A. Barr. Each plant can cover a great deal of ground with masses of its interestingly cut leaves and many wine-crimson cup shaped flowers. In suitably sandy or well draining soils each plant will produce a large parsnip like root. A good water thrifty ground cover.

Anagallis
''Anagallis'' is a formerly recognized genus of flowering plants in the family (biology), family Primulaceae. It had about 20–25 species, commonly called pimpernels. Molecular phylogenetics, Molecular phylogenetic studies showed that ''Anagallis'' was embedded in the genus ''Lysimachia'', so its species were transferred to that genus. The Lysimachia arvensis, scarlet pimpernel referred to in literature was part of this genus. Taxonomy The genus name ''Anagallis'' is from the Greek ( 'again') and ( 'to delight in'), and it refers to the opening and closing of the flowers in response to environmental conditions. Molecular phylogenetics, Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that as then Circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed neither ''Anagallis'' nor the related genus ''Lysimachia'' were Monophyly, monophyletic. Accordingly in 2009, it was proposed to merge ''Anagallis'' (together with two other small genera) into ''Lysimachia''. Names in that genus were published for ...
