It is thought this flower got its name from the fact that it comes into
bloom when the cuckoo sings without stammering. It has the alternative
names of Lady's Smock and Milkmaid probably due to its springtime
flowering.
However in Germany it was thought if the flower was taken indoors the
house would be struck by lightning. |
