lychnis

The pink lychnis or ragged robin grows among the grasses; the iris flowers higher on the shore.

They do not occur in male Lychnis dioica, but next spring I will look to male holly flowers.

I formerly fancied that I observed female Lychnis dioica seeded without pollen.

And where the sunlight is less broken by the trees there are patches of red lychnis and tall crowns of white cow parsley.

The Red Campion (Lychnis diurna) is common on the banks of wayside ditches, as well as in copses and other moist and shady places.
