Mayflower

The Mayflower or Cuckoo flower or Lady's Smock (Cardamine pratensis) depending on what you know it as...

Is very aptly named ... It is generally out in May and it also coincides with the first Cuckoo...

It was out in abundance when we visited Véron last Friday afternoon but was somewhat overshadowed by the Fritillaries...

Such a shame as it is such a pretty little flower and one I have fond memories of picking for my mum as a small child.

We haven't heard a Cuckoo yet though...

That second photo is good. They are not easy to photograph. I don't think I've got any really good ones.
