For Anne's latest plate we've chosen two mainland localities and three island localities:
Bell heather - on Sanday with West Manse and the Sanday Community School in the background
Cross-leaved Heath - at Bossack, St Andrews in the East Mainland
Ling - at Mor Stein on Shapinsay
Tormentil - ruins above Rushacloust on Eday
Hard Fern - on the track to the Knowes of Trotty, Harray in the West Mainland
The Orkney Book of Wildflowers is scheduled for publication at Christmas 2014. Tim Dean is writing the text, Anne Bignall is painting the habitats and flowers and the Orcadian is responsible for the publishing. The book will be a sister volume to The Orkney Book of Birds and will follow the same unique and successful format. There will be 50 plates depicting ten Orkney habitats and nearly 220 of Orkney's wildflowers.
