Plant of the Day

Wednesday 6 August 2025

This small hardy perennial is most likely to be Lychnis flos-cuculi 'Nana' (ragged robin), a compact form of the plant of wet meadows in Europe, including Britain. It has a gently spreading habit forming a low rosette of blue-green, lance shaped leaves. Short stems carrying small, frilly pink flowers from May onwards.

Happy pride month (even though it’s almost over) and tyria pride weekend! I can’t attend tyria pride this year so I decided to just post screenshots of some of my proud characters instead ♡
