Anemone nemorosa
The silver birch has an open canopy which allows plenty of light to reach the ground. This allows a variety of mosses, grasses, and flowering plants to grow beneath, which in turn attract insects. Flowering plants often found in birch woods include primrose ("Primula vulgaris"), violet ("Viola riviniana"), bluebell ("Hyacinthoides non-scripta"), wood anemone ("Anemone nemorosa"), and wood sorrel ("Oxalis acetosella"). Small shrubs that grow on the forest floor include blaeberry ("Vaccinium myrtillus") and cowberry ("Vaccinium vitis-idaea").
