Summary
The British Wildflower Photography Competition for 2025 has announced its winners, showcasing native blooms across the UK. Amateur photographer Damien Walmsley won with a dawn shot of common poppies in Staffordshire, while young photographer M Stanway took the under eighteen group with purple heather from the Eden Project in Cornwall. Pros went to Justin Minns for misty wild garlic in Essex woods. Highly commended entries included Emma Eccles sea thrift along Cornwalls coast path and Alex Iftodes sea bindweed on Perran Sands. These shots highlight wildflowers quiet power for wildlife, as plants like marsh thistle and scabious draw pollinators and birds, while stems shelter hoverflies. Coastal stars like sea holly fight erosion with salt tolerance. Photographers captured moments from foxgloves standing tall in East Lothian fields to wood anemones haloed by tree light in Cheshire, reminding us wild beauty thrives in tough spots and urging us to protect these vital green allies year-round.
