What flowers are indigenous to the UK, that were here before the Romans came and are still here?

June 28th, 2009

I'm not a gardener but it's something I've always wondered. I did a search and this site http://www.ypte.org.uk/docs/factsheets/env_facts/britains_rareflowers.html seems to be quite interesting.

i think this is the rite answer lol ! coastal shingle and grassland support rare arable plants such as Red Hempnettle, Small-flowered Buttercup and Corn Parsley

    Bluebells? Sea pinks? I'm not sure, but here in Scotland it would have definitely have been Heather!
