  1. wildflower

    A wildflower is a type of flowering plant that grows naturally in the wild, typically without any form of human intervention or cultivation. These plants often grow in forests, meadows, prairies, and other natural habitats, and they can range in size, shape, color, and blooming period. Their seeds are dispersed by natural elements like wind, water, or wildlife, and they are known for their ability to thrive in various types of environments.

  1. Wildflower

    A wildflower is a flower that grows in the wild, meaning it was not intentionally seeded or planted. Yet "wildflower" meadows of a few mixed species are sold in seed packets. The term "wildflower" has been made vague by commercial seedsmen who are interested in selling more flowers or seeds more expensively than when labeled with only its name and/or origin. The term implies that the plant probably is neither a hybrid nor a selected cultivar that is in any way different from the way it appears in the wild as a native plant, even if it is growing where it would not naturally. "Wildflower" is not an exact term. Terms like native species, exotic or, better, introduced species, of which some are labelled invasive species, imported and naturalized are much more accurate. In the United Kingdom, the organisation Plantlife International instituted in 2002 the County Flowers scheme whereby members of the public nominated and voted for a wild flower emblem for their county. The aim was to spread awareness of the heritage of native species and about the need for conservation, as some of these species are endangered. For example, Somerset has adopted the Cheddar Pink, London the Rosebay Willowherb and Denbighshire/Sir Ddinbych in Wales the rare Limestone Woundwort.
