Cuckoo flowers

These little wild flowers are everywhere at the moment, including in the garden amongst the cowslips. They were my brother's favourite flowers when he was a child so I'm glad they now grow in the garden too. Looks better on black.

I think we used to call these milkmaids no idea why, but a lovely capture of their delicacy

Delicate little flowers that look very hardy! Nice focus and blur!

Beautifully captured.

I've not seen any yet this year but I also know these as cuckoo flower though lots of people here know them as Lady's Smock - it's a plant with many names!

A gentle and pretty shot. Lovely colours.

You are so much further ahead than us. We have no cowslips or cuckoo flowers yet. Lovely shot of this delicate little flower

[Helen Jane]

Lovely detail. The veins are very pretty and I am very fond of the colour - I don't think I recognise this flower. It is a an excellent arrangement that you have within the lens.

Beautiful capture and looks great on black Ann. Haven't seen any of these round here. I shall have a look today!

[Disha Parekh]

So so pretty! I love the colour!
