A NATIONAL vote has been launched to find out the nations’ favourite wild flower.

The shortlist of 25 flowers has been voted for by the membership of Plantlife over the winter and is going live for the public to vote as part of celebrations for the charity’s 25th anniversary.

From next Tuesday, the UK public will be able to log onto www.plantlife.org.uk/wildflowervote to see the 25 shortlisted wild flowers, discover their conservation status and cultural importance and place their vote.

The results will be announced in June.
