Ragged Robin
Silene flos-cuculi
' Campion ' is actually a strange name. Because these bright pink flower has little to do with a cuckoo. Possible she got her name due to being in bloom comes when the cuckoo comes into the country. Also plays a role as possible the beast spit. This is a small leafhoppers that are always eggs on Campion explains. The larva wraps itself in a kind of foam that seems pretty much on spit. Formerly it was thought that this came of the cuckoo: cuckoo spit. The plant where the cuckoo always spat was then so the cuckoo flower.
Real cuckoo flowers are especially on damp meadows, often in combination with Sorrel and sharp Buttercup.
