[edit] Harebell?
Yorkshire as a Harebell? White Rose, surely? http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/gb-en-ys.html (Flag web site, both images of the Yorkshire flag display a Yorkshire rose) http://www.civicheraldry.co.uk/wriding_ob.html (Civil Heraldry Web Site, describing Yorkshire's coat of arms, "The white roses are a symbol of Yorkshire, ultimately derived from the badge of the House of York. The three roses on the red chief represent the three Ridings or "thirdings" into which Yorshire was devided. The other rose is shown en Soleil, a device adopted by the Yorkist King Edward IV, when he reached the throne after the Battle of Towton.") http://www.yorkshire-ridings.org.uk/yorkshireday.htm (Yorkshire Ridings Society, "Remember, wearing Yorkshire's white rose on August 1st shows you care about the traditional culture and heritage of our county.") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rose_of_York (Wikipedia article, "The White Rose of York (Rosa alba) is the symbol of the House of York and latterly of Yorkshire.")

[edit] To Do List
The following county flowers are missing a photo:
[edit] How did the Plantlife project defined "county"?
It isn't made clear anywhere in this article, plus there are references to cities such as "Newcastle", which are clearly not counties. Either these are actually meaning metropolitan counties (i.e. Tyne and Wear for Newcastle, but calling it "Newcastle" excludes lots of other major settlementsd, not least Sunderland!) or the wording of their survey is wrong. Moreover, it is clearly not just a list of non-metropolitan and metropolitan counties as Cumberland and Westmorland are mentioned. I'll clarify the text to show the ambiguity over the term "county".
