Visualising where the wildflowers grow across the length and breadth of the UK.
I often think if it grows together it goes together when selecting colours. But the array of colour found within wildflowers exceed any palette I could create.
This print attempts to bring the colour and data to life.
The Details
Each blade of grass represents one 10km square of land, which have been identified by having at least one sighting of common grass, Yorkshire fog or nettles. The three most common species in the UK.
The grass has been arranged by grid reference, where the Shetland isles are top right and Scilly isles bottom left. The floral illustrations represent the presence of that flower within that 10km square. The taller the flower, the more abundant they grow.
The flowers included in this print are the ox-eye daisy, poppy, cornflower and corn marigold.
