About this app
This is a fun place for kids aged 5–12 to discover the wildflowers you can see in Ireland — at the side of a path, in a meadow, on a bog, or up on the cliffs by the sea.
All photos shown are loaded from Wikimedia Commons, where photographers and volunteers share pictures with open licences. We always link back to the original page so you can see who took the photo.
⚠️ Some wildflowers are poisonous if eaten or touched — always look with your eyes, and never pick or taste a wild plant unless a grown-up who knows plants says it's safe.
