I took this picture yesterday at King,s Hat in the New Forest.
I thought this to be Wood Sorrel, I have been corrected by Colin Grice(four) it is Milkmaids.
Milkmaids, Cukoo Flower, or Lady's Smock (Cardamine pratensis)
It is a herbaceous perenial plant growing 40-60cm tall, with pinnate leaves 5-12cm long with 3-15 leaflets, each leaflet about 1cm long.The flowers are produced on a spike 10-30cm long, each flower 1-2cm diameter with for petals. It grows best close to water.

Thanks to Colin.
I used Photoshop Elements 5 to crop, convert, resize, increase shadow and saturation and to sharpen after resizing.
Thanks for looking |
