Cuckoo flower (Cardamine pratensis)
Taken on Friars Meadow, Sudbury, Suffolk, England.

This flower is one of the larval foodplants of the Orange Tip butterfly. The female adult lays her eggs singly amongst the flower buds and the hatched larvae eat the plant's seedpods.
The plant is also known as Lady's smock and Milkmaid.
