Now I agree it's not Snowdon Lily as leaves are wrong. Wood Anemone has been suggested but that's a woodland flower. I'm leaning towards Mossy Saxifrage. Anyone with any other thoughts?
not mossy saxifrage (looks very different) & seeing the photo with no other information I would have said wood anemone. Plants normally considered as woodland plants often occur elsewhere, especially if in the shade of rocks, etc and frequently quite high on British mountains.
I'd go with wood anenome. The right microclimate and other environmental conditions and it'll be off, woodland or not. Plants cant read the field guides. I doubt it's an indicator of former ancient woodland, mind.
Yes the do grow in woods, but they'll also grow in un-grazed ground in the same way as bluebells normally grow in woods but will also grow in other places provided they don't get trampled or eaten.
