Cardamine pratensis, also called lady’s smock, meadow cress, bittercress, or cuckoo flower, by the Steall Waterfall in Scotland. This is one of the most showy Cardamine species, and is often used as an ornamental garden flower. It’s technically edible, but because it’s small and prettier to look at, it’s not often eaten. Cuckoo flower is circumpolar and can be found wild in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Cuckoo flower / lady's smock / milkmaids
Cardamine pratensis
They are called cuckoo flowers due to the foamy froghopper (spittle bug) nests which can often be found on them and which were referred to as cuckoo spittle or witches spittle.
The flower is said to be sacred to fairies and should never be plucked in bloom or brought indoors. Making a flower crown from them is said to bring bad luck for this reason.
As a medicinal herb it was used against rheumatism as well as kindney and liver problems, mostly due to very high levels of vitamin C.

Happy STS! Do any of your characters garden, and what do they garden? If not, then what flowers do you associate with your characters?
Thanks for the ask!
In a very early draft of Magic's Servant, Mori (a demon) is obsessed with a very particular shade of blackish red and a flower not too dissimilar to tulips, so he spends a lot of hyperfixated time on trying to breed the flowers to recreate that shade. He never quite manages to get the colour exactly right. I'm not certain the scenes will make it into the current draft (not quite relevant to the story I'm telling) but the full story could come up in the sequel since that will, by necessity, focus a lot more on the past and how things came to be.
Veritas, his partner, is associated with a wildflower known as Ladies' Smock or Cuckoo Flower. It tends to grow in marshy, boggy conditions. It was the first illusion he ever made, and to demons, early signs of magical prowess often manifest as illusions.

Crow Nest West to East
On a mid-May Saturday, we made our way up to Palace House Road to wend up pretty paths. Even the racket emanating from an event in the park didn’t spoil our enjoyment of the resplendent floral display. Golden poppies reflected the bright sun, bluebells drooped in the heat and dandelions were heavy with seeds. Careful of our footing over the pesky old round beech nuts, we braved the tricky west…
