NATURE ON ONE: IRELAND’S WILD PEOPLE When she was just eight years old, Zoe Devlin was handed a magnifying glass and shown an Irish orchid by a family friend, leading to a lifelong love of Ireland's wild flowers. Some 60 years later, in 2009, her hobby spurred her to create her own website which lead to two books 'Wildflowers of Ireland - A Personal Record' (2011) and 'The Wildflowers of Ireland - A Field Guide' (2014).
