About Faroese Wildflowers (and Wild Non-Flowering Plants)

THIS GROUP IS FOR PHOTOGRAPHS OF FLOWERS (AND OCCASIONALLY CLOSE-UPS OF NON-FLOWERING PLANTS) THAT GROW NATURALLY IN THE WILD IN THE FAROE ISLANDS, AND THAT WERE PHOTOGRAPHED IN THE FAROE ISLANDS. ALL PHOTOS THAT ARE SUBMITTED TO THE GROUP POOL MUST MEET THESE TWO CRITERIA.

Flickr members are invited to post images that are either close-ups (macros) or show groupings of wildflowers growing naturally in their environment in the Faroe Islands.

Names of the wildflower (popular in English, Faroese or any other language; and/or scientific) are desirable, as well as a description of the plant if known. If not known, other members or visitors to the Group are invited to provide this information with a comment.

VIEWING ONLY IMAGES OF A SPECIFIC WILDFLOWER --
Tags are added to group photos to permit visitors to the Faroese Wildflower group to view only those images of a specific Faroese wildflower. We hope that this will be a useful feature for those that visit this group site.
