Could someone help me identify this flower? Reverse image searches suggest that it is a Lily of the Valley but that is not correct - quite apart from the fact that I know that flower well, this one has no discernible scent. My daughter suffered a severe allergic reaction after picking a bouquet of wild flowers. The only new one there was this one.
Looking at wildflowers generally I wondered about the white bladder campion, but I`m not at all sure of that.... I do know that Lily of the valley is poisonous.
We are hoping that your daughter has fully recovered ??
Thank you Zigs and Tetters. I found this image for White Bladder Campion. Although it does not too well in the picture I took the flowers in question have the same membranous petals/urn with a faint greyish line pattern which somehow make them look more deadly to me than a normal Lily of the Valley. However, I have been unable to find any allergy information regarding it - quite the contrary it does appear to have several uses. My daughter gathered a whole bouquet along with a few dasies and then sniffed at them so I guess she got a huge dose of pollen and has had hayfever like symptoms since.
