um mine says UK

neither we have all purpose flour also

self raising meself

plain flour, but you can make self rising
Using a dry measure, measure the desired amount of flour into a separate container.
For each cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Mix to combine.
Tips:
You can use self-rising flour in yeast bread recipes, but you'll need to omit the salt.
If you use self-rising flour as a substitute for all-purpose flour in a quick bread, omit salt and baking powder.

It's about half way between the two.

It's plain. I recommend white whole wheat flower. It has all the flavor of white flower and all the nutrition of whole wheat.

hi, all purpose flour is plain flour xxx

both

Most probably normal plain flour...
It can be used for 'all purposes' and then stuff can be added to mak it rise better, while self raising flour will rise on it's own accord so can't be used with everything...

American all-purpose flour is a mixture of hard wheat flour and soft wheat flour. This makes the protein content halfway between the content of flour used for breads (oddly enough known as bread flour) and flour used for pastries (known as cake flour). There are no other ingredients in it.

I do not know what this equates to in UK terms, but I hope this will help you make the conversion.

its plain flour, they have to add baking powder when they want to bake.

sound like your using compost .........try it with you flowers first
