Cuckoo flower

[nanila]

These delicately veined little flowers grow out of the cracks in the brickwork at the canal's edge. They're a sure sign that spring is well underway.

The floaty look here makes it look like a painting on porcelain :)

That's a flattering description, thank you!

They're so lovely they hardly look real!

[nanila]

The places where they manage to take root are slightly unbelievable as well. The tiniest cracks!

Pretty!

Yes, and all along the locks at this time of year. It's a wonderful sight.

How lovely, especially with the commentary!

[nanila]

Thank you! :)

It's lovely! I haven't seen any here yet and with how cold it's been the last week it will probably be at least another couple of weeks until they do.

Fingers crossed for their timely appearance!

Do you know what they are called? The image is beautiful.

The common names are cuckoo flower, or lady's smock. And thank you!
