Forgetmenots?

A survey has suggested that very few people in the UK can name common wild flowers (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/dec/17/plantwatch-what-is-that-wildflower-and-why-dont-we-know). This includes items like the Common dog violet which is found over most of our landscape. Although people in general would like to know more, this is not true of the younger cohort. Although the level of ignorance (compared to knowledge of mammals and birds) is unsurprising, it is a weakness in our being able to monitor the effects of climate change and invasions by alien species.
