| | | Flowers in Scilly
Thought you guys might like to see some of the plants which I saw in my recent holiday in the Scillies.
Many of the most noticeable Scilly plants are naturalised exotics and include many sorts of bulbs - especially daffodils:
Bunch-flowered Daffodil 
Paperwhite Daffodil 
Primrose-peerless 
Neapolitan Garlic 
Also many South African species:
Deltoid-leaved Dewplant 
Bermuda-buttercup 
Pale Dewplant 
Chasmanthe 
Scilly Pigmyweed 
and a few Australians:
Australian Blackwood 
and a few are just bizarre:
Fleshy Yellow-sorrel 
Of course there are spectacular natives species too...
Least Adder's-tongue 
Managed to get a list of about 285 species in a very warm, sunny week - definitely somewhere I want to go back to  |
