Wildflowers etc. of British Columbia Photo Gallery by Terry Thormin at pbase.com

Wildflowers etc. of British Columbia

This gallery is not limited to just wildflowers, but also includes grasses, sedges and ferns. The order in which they are presented is the same as in Plants of Coastal British Columbia by Pojar and MacKinnon. At the present time it is limited to Vancouver Island, but I hope to be able to eventually expand it to include other areas of B.C.

I found a small orange lily growing along the Galloping Goose Trail. It has no spots and I have been unable to identify it. Is there a site where I could post a photo? My grandson on PEI really wants to find out its name. Thanks for any suggestions

Samantha		06-May-2018 04:24
Just moved to BC and trying to learn how to identify the plant life. Thanks so much for your help!!

jemma		16-Jun-2017 04:03
it would help if a ruler or some such device were laid alongside to give an idea of size of leaves, flowers etc.

Sarah		10-Sep-2015 08:02
Bob looks like some variety of groundsel, maybe rock groundsel?

Bob		29-Jul-2015 20:12
Anyone know this flower... https://flic.kr/p/wAiCq8 Thanks

Diane Spenser, this may be an Oregon Grape - yellow flowers, looks like a holly leaf.

Diane Spencer		13-May-2015 03:18
Sorry, correction to previous comment. Should say YELLOW FLOWERS, not yellow berries.

Diane Spencer		13-May-2015 03:16
In my back yard, attached to an old stump, I have a holly-type wild plant with shiny green leaves and yellow berries. What is this plant?

Dee Heston		10-Apr-2015 02:11
Dee Many thanks for helping identify blue-eyed mary and sea blush at Gore Park nature reserve, Brentwood Bay.

John		28-Feb-2015 23:52

Eb Mueller		07-Sep-2013 06:28

Paula		25-Jul-2013 02:12
Thank you so much for this catalogue of beautiful wild flowers of BC! It's very educational and the photography is amazing!

Nigel Riley		30-Jun-2013 12:19
A really useful guide.I have a few photos from a trek to climb Rambler peak in Strathcona National Park. May I send you copies for identification?

Glenys Morgan		25-Apr-2012 10:48
Thanks so much for helping me identify several wildflowers I photographed at Green Timbers Urban Forest in Surrey. I still have one or two that weren't here and wonder if you could help me with them if I send you a low res shot? Much appreciated. Glenys Morgan

Dean		30-Aug-2011 02:54
Great photos. They helped me ID a flower I saw on a hike.
