Ragged Robin -Lychnis flos-cuculi:
Ragged Robin is one of those plants that’s widespread throughout Britain but not particularly common anywhere; it’s always a joy to find it. Sadly, it has suffered a decline as the wet meadows, rush-pastures and fens where it grows have been drained and improved for agriculture. The flowers are an important source of nectar for butterflies and long-tongued bees.
