Plantlife, the conservation charity, said more than 500 rare wild plants are in danger of dying out in Britain including may lily, pasque flower and lady's slipper orchid. Plants like box, snake's head fritillary and corn cockle, that are cultivated in gardens, are now seldom found in the wild.
The latest flower to go extinct was the ghost orchid, a delicate white flower that has not been seen in the British countryside for more than 20 years.
