Wild Flower

[bazzard]

In the verges and on roundabouts I have seen groups of pink wild flowers growing. From a distance, they appear to look like Nemesia, as far as the flower head is concerned. They are about the height of a cowslip. The colour is a delicate fairly light pink/ slightly mauve and it looks like it is supported by a single stalk. Any ideas what it could be?

I'm thinking it's the Cuckoo flower or Lady's smock (although I've always called it Milkmaids)

I think you are right. It is a very pretty flower and I must get some from my local Garden Centre. Thank you, Prudie
