Lychins floscuculi is a plant commonly known as "ragged-robin" due to its distinctive petals which resemble ragged edges. However, there are several other synonyms for this plant, including "marsh pink," "cuckoo-flower," and "meadow-pink." These synonyms reflect the plant's preferred habitat of damp meadows and marshy areas, as well as its association with the cuckoo bird, which is said to arrive in Britain when the ragged-robin blooms. Additionally, the use of the term "pink" in some of these synonyms refers to the flower's pink hue. Regardless of its name, Lychins floscuculi is a beloved addition to any garden or meadow thanks to its cheerful blooms and hardy nature.
