In with cuckoos
Midwalk, on the homeward stretch, I stopped for a rest.
Sitting amongst these cuckoo flowers
Cardamine pratensis
So named as it flowers when the cuckoos call.
In Austria it is thought you'll get bitten by an adder if you pick it,
In Germany it is thought your house will be struck by lightening if it is brought indoors.
Thankfully we disproved these superstitions
