Biology:County flowers of the United Kingdom
From HandWiki
Short description: Unofficial 2002 public survey
In 2002 Plantlife conducted a "County Flowers" public survey to assign flowers to each of the counties of the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man.[1] The results of this campaign designated a single plant species to a "county or metropolitan area" in the UK and Isle of Man.[2] Some English counties already had flowers traditionally associated with them before 2002,[3] and which were different from those assigned to them by Plantlife, including the white rose for Yorkshire (assigned the harebell), the poppy for Norfolk (assigned the Alexanders), and the cowslip for Essex (assigned the poppy). Some flowers were assigned to multiple counties.
