Here are the photographs of the wild flowers I managed to get. Some I knew others I had to search to identify. I found this website from the Botanical Society of the British Isles [http://www.botanicalkeys.co.uk/flora/] invaluable, and some of my identifications have come from there, any errors are of course all my own. Not a bad selection I don’t think. I apologise for the quality of some of the photographs, but taking a photo with a Weimaraner who only wants to walk can be a little difficult.

Wood Anemone [Anemone nermorosa] vitsippa

This flower is seen literally carpeting the woodland floor, the delicate white flowers nodding gently in the breeze. In the sunny spring weather their flowers are open wide, but when cloudy or in the evening the close up and droop gently.

Lesser Celandine [Ranunculus ficaria] Svalört

Along with the Wood Anemone this is one of the earliest wild flowers to appear and adds a golden hue to the woodland floor. Immortalised by Wordsworth

    There is a flower, the lesser celandine
    That shrinks, like many more, from cold and rain
    And, the first moment that the sun may shine
    Bright as the sun himself, ‘tis out again.

Yellow Wood Anemone [Anemone ranunculoides] Gulsippa

Similar to the Wood Anemone though far less noticeable as it does not grow so densely this cheery flower with celandine like flowers loves the damp open woodland, he bright yellow chimes well with the green, finely cut leaves

White Butterbur [Petasites albus] vitskråp

According to tradition, the large leaves of this plant were used for wrapping butter – hence the English common name

Bird in a bush [Corydalis solida] Nunneört

The ferny leaved Bird in a bush produces delicate, pink-spurred flowers that gently mingle amongst the other woodlanders, the name corydalis comes from the Greek korydalis, meaning crested lark – referring to the shape of the flowers

Toothwort [Lathraea squamaria] vätterosen

The deathly pallor of this parasitic plant, the pale stems, flowers and scales have earned it the country name of ‘corpse flower’ in the belief that such a ghostly plant could only grow from a buried corpse. It is in fact a parasite, usually on hazel, extracting all its nourishment from the host plant and has no need of chlorophyll.

Blue Eyed Mary [Omphalodes verna] ormöga

A dense mat-forming plant that has rich green leaves, rather triangular in shape and noticeably veined. Pretty, starry little blue flowers appear in spring.

Yellow Star of Bethlehem [Gagea lutea] vårlök

This species is not easy to spot even when it is in flower. It grows amongst other species such as Ramsons (Allium ursinum), which are generally more abundant and have similar looking leaves.

Ramsons or Wild garlic [Allium ursinium] ramslök

This plant is at it’s most prolific on the shaded wooded slope at Billingemölla. The name ramsons probably comes from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning rank, referring to its odour and the strong flavour the plant imparts to the milk of any cow that eats it.

Colt’s Foot [Tussilago farfara] hästhov

Just when it seems that spring will never come again sunny spring days bring this plant bursting up on the scene in an explosion of sulphur-yellow blooms. It grows in the bleakest of situations – waste places that look barren and sterile.

Glory of the Snow [Chionodoxa forbesii] Vårstjärna

Dainty starry blue flowers with a white centre add to the delicate effect of this plant in spring.

Marsh Marigold [Caltha palustris]

Often seen lighting up damp woodland with their brilliant golden flowers and glossy green leaves. Always look their best in partial shade.

Ground Ivy [Glechoma hederacea]

Until hops were introduced to England in the 16th Century leaves of Ground Ivy were added to ale during brewing to clear the fermentng liquid and sharpen the flavour - a use that is commemorated in the nae 'alehoof' used in parts of Yorkshire.

 Opposite-leaved golden saxifrage [Chrysosplenium oppositifolium]

A gold-speckled, pale green mat at the spreading at thie side of a small stream colonising the damp surroundings in dense tufts.
