Plant of the Day
Saturday 3 August 2024
In the damp meadow pasture of the abandoned island of Swona, Orkney, the Lychnis flos-cuculi (ragged robin, crow flower, crow soap, cuckoo flower, cuckoo gilliflower, Indian pink, marsh gilliflower, meadow lychnis, meadow pink, wild William) was flowering. The blooms are enjoyed by a range of pollinators.
