Most of them you can find for free in rural eara's and on the banks of canals.
Take a bag and a wet towel with you.
Most plants behave just fine, but some require proper containment, and I’m not talking about putting them on a dog leash.

Please note, whilst this advice is probably fine in other countries, for Great Britain it's actually illegal to collect a lot of species of wild flowers, we're not even meant to touch a lot of them, let alone dig them up.
