Many roadside verges also provide a habitat for some of Britain’s rare plants … at least twenty-seven of the three hundred rarest species grow on roadside verges; Linum anglicum, perennial flax, grows only in this habitat and the same goes for several other species.

Linum grandiflorum: hardy, 1 ft., splendid crimson; var. roseum is pink.

Even on this splintered ridge, at a height of 8000 feet, there were tulips, celery in blossom, mullein, roses, legions of the Fritillaria imperialis, anemones, blue linum, and a wealth of alpine plants.
