This index sorts the plants according to the main colour of their flowers. This is by far more easy for many amateur people to find the particular plant, rather form using the other main indexes which classifies plants by their botanical family or Scientific name.

Simply click on the link with the name of colour from the table below and then choose the plant from the images available for the particular colour you have chosen. If a flower plant can be found with 2 different flower colours (for example the pimpernel which can be blue or red), this is often placed in both colours. Similarly, other plants that have 2 main colours in their flowers (for example the Honeywort which has cream and brown colours) this is usually found both in the cream and the brown indexes. Please understand that in several cases it is very difficult to cut a line of what exact colour a flower is, and sometimes this is subjective from one person to another. This mostly applies in the Red->Purple->Magenta->Violet->Blue hue range. Hence one may find a 'purplish' flower in the blue index or one who thinks that the colour of a flower is blue, would not find it in the blue index, because instead, it would be placed in the violet index.

From Sep 2007, the flowers in every colour index are further sorted by plant family, and then by A-Z of the species name. Good luck!

NB: The Website is undergoing a major update and some links and images may be broken or misplaced. This would be fixed by Autumn 2008.
