The pale lilac-coloured cuckoo flower is so called because it flowers at the same time as the cuckoo starts to call in England. Other names include lady's smock and milkmaids. It is often found, as here, in damp grassy places. In 1767, in a learned book on medical botany, the flowers were recommended as an 'anti-spasmodic remedy' – but not for epilepsy. (I add this for historical colour and not as a recommendation.) Close up, selective focus on left hand flower.
