Plants commonly found all over the Devon and Cornwall region; found in parks, gardens, hedgerows, woodland margins and wasteland.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the flora of the region and help

people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but a few species may only be determined by observing microscopic differences that are characteristic to any one species.
