Editing Middlesex (section)

===County flower===
In 2002 [[Plantlife]] ran a [[County flowers of the United Kingdom|county flowers]] campaign to assign flowers to each of the counties of the United Kingdom. The general public was invited to vote for the bloom they felt most represented their county. The [[Anemone nemorosa|wood anemone]] was chosen as the flower of Middlesex. The flower was a common sight in the [[Forest of Middlesex]].

When the suburbs of London swept over Middlesex, many of its woods were bypassed and preserved. The wood anemone still blooms there to this day.<ref>Bevan, D., [http://www.muswell-hill.com/muswell/history/woodland/ The Natural History of Haringey's Ancient Woodlands] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190530035707/http://www.muswell-hill.com/muswell/history/woodland/ |date=30 May 2019 }}, Retrieved 12 June 2019.</ref><ref>Plantlife, [https://www.plantlife.org.uk/uk/discover-wild-plants-nature/plant-fungi-species/wood-anemone wood anemone] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308081858/https://www.plantlife.org.uk/uk/discover-wild-plants-nature/plant-fungi-species/wood-anemone |date=8 March 2021 }}.
