Cardamine pratensis

I came across this elegant wild flower this afternoon on my walk.  It is also known as Lady's Smock or Cuckoo Flower.
Apparently in Europe a lot of superstition used to surrounded it. If it was picked, a thunderstorm would break out, or it would generate lightening so it was never taken into the house!
It looked pretty innocuous to me!
