The varied habitats and non-intensive agriculture make Bragar and Arnol particularly good places for seeing wildflowers. Traditional crofting practices greatly increase the floral diversity of the area, with the machair and àrd in particular bursting with colour through the summer months. Sheep graze these areas from mid-October to mid-May – this prevents coarse, rank vegetation from taking over and displacing the flowers and herbs. A succession of flowers can be seen from May until September, including orchids, ragged robin, clovers, vetches, birds-foot trefoil, thrift, wild carrot, yellow rattle, corn marigold, meadowsweet, scabious, fumitory, eyebrights, knapweed, angelica and many more.
