Lady’s Smock

One of the perennial herbs growing in the paddock, said to be sacred to fairies it’s unlucky if brought indoors and was never included in May Day garlands for that reason. Also known as the Cuckoo Flower because it flowers at the same time as the arrival of the first Cuckoos. It’s a food plant for the Orange Tipped Butterfly and their are lots of those flying around. A warm sunny day with light winds.
