Removal of any plant material of endangered or listed species (even if you
are the landowner) is illegal. Removal of any plant material without the
landowners permission is illegal. This includes the picking of bluebells,
primroses and wild daffodils. Seed can usually be collected from council
owned roadside verges but the percentage crop should not be more than 20%.[/i][/color]

Stuff and nonsense. Read the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
Bluebells are not in Schedule 8 as far as section 13(1) is
concerned.

Yes, that infamous act stole rights from the public, but it stole
far less than is claimed by the followers of William the *******.
The only thing that is forbidden even by that act for plants not
in schedule 8 is uprooting them - and, while there is no precedent
as far as I know, it is doubtful that taking a rooted offshoot
would count as that. It is CERTAINLY not illegal to pick the
flowers you specify.

Thank you for all your comments and tips. Think its a hard subject for all about the removal or cuttings of wild flowers. But i too will look at the Countryside Act 1981 or maybe just stick to the garden centers haha.
Thank you all again.
