Red and White Campion Flowers

Late Spring and just about everywhere here in North Fife the landscape, hedgerows, gardens and roadside is in flower. Wonderful.

White campion which hybridises frequently with the red, giving pink.

Flora Britannica
The Definitive New Guide to Britain's Wild Flowers, Plants and Trees
Covering the native and naturalized wild plants of England, Scotland and Wales, this reference guide to plants and flowers contains over 500 colour images.

This landmark guide offers a comprehensive survey of the native and naturalized wild plants of England, Scotland, and Wales. Useful and delightful, it covers 1,000 species, including trees and ferns. More than a definitive work of natural history, however, it is also a virtual encyclopedia of living folklore, recording the role of wild plants in social life, the arts, customs, and landscapes. The information has been supplied by the people themselves, creating a unique national record of the popular culture, domestic uses, and social meanings of Britain's wild plants. Splendidly written by naturalist Richard Mabey and illustrated with 500 fine color photographs, "Flora Britannica" is an elegant testimony to the continuing relationship between nature and man.
