UK - rare plants!

Hi there i'm new, from the UK and looking for some rare plants, hope you all can help me, I'm hoping for something particularly cool looking!

Hope to get to know you all.

SHEFFIELD IS GREEN!

 

thanks for the welcome! Loads of good stuff on here

 

Hi so what you after ?

 

So your looking to see rare wild flowers in person?

Your best bet is to get in contact with your county recorder and see if there are any local groups who meet regularly to botanise http://www.bsbi.org.uk/local_groups.html

They will usually be very helpful and also be able to point you to general areas of interest, another good idea is to get hold of a copy of your county flora which is a book which will list all the plants and flowers of your county and usually a rough guide of where they can be found for rarer plants.

 

Hi Sheffieldisgreen,



Welcome to Gardeners Corner

 

Hi Sheffieldisgreen

 

Just backed a project on Kickstarter called the sow, seems to be a great cause and they seem to have some great seeds, go check them out!

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Sheffieldisgreen. Are you looking just to record the plants or do you actually want to acquire them?

 

Have you joined this forum just to tell us about that Sheffield scheme?

 

hmmm think so , two greats and a check this out , seems a little spammy
I may be wrong . So SIG how can us bumpkins help you ?

 

Nope, genuinely looking for rare seeds, recently moved house and have lots of space on window sills and in my new garden. Want something a bit different so if anyone has any other ideas please let me know.Thanks
