Cuckoo flower

Also known as Lady's Smock or Milkmaids, we have quite a few of these in flower now at Filnore Woods, but this lovely patch was in the field next door, with the skateboard park and the organic allotments in it.  They have now been mown off.


It's one of the larval food plants of the orange tip butterfly and so doubly valuable.


Luckily we have more of them at Filnore but not in such profusion.  Sorry, orange tips.
