(1) Does anyone know of a website which contains a good variety of
photographs of UK-native flora (flowers, trees, the whole lot). I take
photographs from time to time, and would like to find out what it is
I've got pictures *of*
(2) More immediately, can anyone botanically-minded here tell me what
this is: http://www.judgemental.plus.com/Purp_Flr.jpg ?
I took this yesterday, and I love the way it's come out, so I want to
put it on my site: trouble is I don't know *what* it is.
TIA

Passion flower I think, could be a Clementis, not sure as I don't grow
either although my wife wants to once we're settled

Looks like Akelei to me.
er, Aquilegia vulgaris, online translators/searches suggest it's
called European Columbine, European Crowfoot, Granny's Bonnet
in English.
Seems to fit; the photo is a bit tricky because the actual leaves
of the flower seem to be hidden under leaves from some other plant.
No guarantees, I'm not botanically-minded, just have a decent
visual memory.

It is aquilegia, the wild version of it. Also called columbine. You can get
all sorts of colours in garden centres and they are short lived perennials,
they self seed happily but the self sown ones almost always come up purple.
I used to have the most wonderful white ones and pale blue and pale pink but
all that's left now are a few hardy purple ones and a lot of weeds

It's an aquilegia.

Thanks all. Pretty thing isn't it? I like the thought of a wild-ish
flower in my garden. For one thing, it absolves me from responsibility
for it - I think it can take care of itself.
The leaves you can see, Anke, are probably those of my honeysuckle: that
bugger can *certainly* take care of itself - and anything else within
range, for that matter.
I'll put the pic on my website, perhaps tomorrow.

We're headied for a Grand Three Way Climber Shootout in our garden. A
honeysuckle, a hop, and a vine are advancing on the same point from
different directions. When they meet there is going to be the most
unholy tangle.

I can sympathise there: mine's only a two-way (honeysuckle and rambling
rose), and I'd be content to let them fight it out (1), except...
My house faces west-east, so my side house wall and my long
hedges/fences face south. This means that the honeysuckle/rambling rose
hydra-beast not only grows *along* the side fence at the back, but heads
*outwards* as well, and would engulf the wheely bin if I didn't hack the
bloody things back each autumn. I've tried training them to go along the
fence the other way (past the shed), but I don't think even Barbara
Woodhouse could have got them to do it.
Similarly, I have a Hypericum along the side wall of the house. It needs
no encouragement to spread in two axes at once, thus blocking off the
path up the side of the house. The one 'plus' with that is that
Hypericum gives off a most beguiling aroma when you cut it.
(1) I was going to type "slug it out", but we *all* know what response
that would get, don't we boys and girls? ;-)

I thought of that but the leaves are wrong, so if those aren't its leaves
then that's what it is.

A while ago I have found a nice page for British flora identification.
I have not used it for a while, though, sou I don't know if it is fully
functional.
http://www.reticule.co.uk/flora/index.html
And yes, it is a columbine.

HTH.
I hope I managed to get the tag right - I am posting through Google
Groups :-(
