Also known as Cuckoo Flower. There is quite a carpet of these in the grassy area in the housing estate. It's a pleasure to see them not just for themselves, but because they are the food plant of the Orange Tip butterfly. However I bet that within a day or two the council will have mowed the grass again, and with it all the wild flowers including these.
