    1. Thank you dear Lois 💜 I thought it was an odd name too (they’re called ‘Pinksterbloem’ in Dutch, which means ‘Whitsun Flower’) until I began to hear the cuckoo calling when seeing these flowers in bloom 🙂💖🐦🎶 xxx

    1. Thank you dear Laurie 💜 They flower in late Spring and we see them in forests and meadows, often accompanied by the sound of a cuckoo calling from a nearby tree 🙂🎶

    1. How lovely that you have orange tip butterflies feeding on them Karina, I haven’t seen them this far North. We see a lot of small whites and peacock butterflies in the Highlands 🙂💖🦋
