Blodau Gwyllt / Wildflowers
This page features an illustrated list of common wild plants and flowers - and occasional bird - found in Wales, including the Welsh, English and scientific names. Ordered roughly by when they bloom (only in desktop view), the list will be added to throughout the year. Each plant has several Welsh names; those listed are either considered to be the ‘primary’ name, or my favourite.
