:-) Wood strawberries, growing wild in the wood. Tinier than garden strawberries, indeed. Does running wild make them yummier?

I found no detailed description to identify the species and keys to distinguish Myosotis arvensis and Myosotis debilis. Common name mentioned above applies for Myosotis arvensis.

Common in the same habitat as Cardamine pratensis, Lychnis flos-cuculi blossoms later, towards the summer. Both plants grow in meadows and their flowers bear a pinky colour. This common habitat and similar colour of petals could explain a possible shift of common names in English (standard language) from Lychnis flos-cuculi to Cardamine pratensis. Philological research is needed.

First blossomed Lychnis flos-cuculi seen April 2, 2013. First meadow with Lycnis flos-cuculi dominating the field found April 20, 2013. Cardamine pratensis in flower in the same meadow since winter. (Bergantinhos, Galizaland).

More research is needed, of course. My first impression is that there has been some shift in names in standard English language when relating the popular name to the scientific one in Cardamine pratensis. Cuckoo flower is used in other European languages for Lychnis flos-cuculi, a plant that shares habitat with Cardamine pratensis, though it blossoms later, more towards the time cuckoo...

Welsh follows the same pattern as English according to BSBI, this coincidence can be easily explained by language contact, furthermore, the fact that Welsh keeps the name of a bird for Lychnis flos-cuculi can be considered as an attempt to keep the popular name though at the same time avoid confusion with Cardamine partensis . Research is needed in both records of popular names of both plants and their names before Linnaeus.

Franz Liszt, from the prelude to "Années de pèlerinage ":
"Having recently travelled to many new countries, through different settings and places consecrated by history and poetry; having felt that the phenomena of nature and their attendant sights did not pass before my eyes as pointless images but stirred deep emotions in my soul, and that between us a vague but immediate relationship had established itself, an undefined but real rapport, an inexplicable but undeniable communication, I have tried to portray in music a few of my strongest sensations and most lively impressions."

Is that the same as the Darth Vader unicycle guy?

@Maitani:Thanks, glad to hear from you! :-)
- Afonso Xavier
@Jessie: No idea who's behind Gandalf here, and neither if he/she plays any other characters. I just liked to see Gandalf in a costume that to me is literary only (from a book cover) and, bagpipes being involved, thought it was a good way to say Happy New Year.
