Welcome to europe.ukwildflowers.com
In early Spring southern Europe bursts into flower. For the British botanist brought up on an early Spring diet of tiny white Cerastiums and Erophilas, such holidays are a joy. Early Spring (March, April even February if the weather holds) is best for places like Cyprus, Crete and Malta and later around May and June for the more northern countries of mainland Europe. The flora of Europe is much richer than that of the British Isles having survived the last ice-age and so potentially this sub domain of ukwildflowers could end up having a larger number of flower photos then ukwildflowers itself - and more colourful ones too.

The extensive indexing of the site is still available via the Sub Index page as in the main site but the European A to Z may be the most useful.

In exchange for the use of photographs a link to this site, a reference or some form of recognition would be appreciated.
Screen Resolution and Images
The site was originally designed with a resolution of 1024 x 768 using 32 bit colour but it works just as well at 1280 x 960/1024.
The resolution typical of the Win95 and 98 era (800 x 600) is not recommended as the images are a fixed size and some will be displaced. Some of the newer pages (2007 onwards) have thumbnails which will lead to enlarged images with a height of 700 px.
If the images don't show on your screen then this could be a firewall problem. If you use Norton Internet Security follow this guide: Norton Allowed Web Content or another source of info about blocked images: Bob Rankin's pages
