This is the flower of my home county: Cheshire. There is a reasonable amount of it to be found around here but it loves wet areas so as those have become scarcer, so has this Spring flowering plant. It is a fairly common plant around the UK but the place where I've seen in spectacular thousands is, surprisingly, on the motorway verges of the M74 leading to Glasgow City centre. It is also one of the food plants of the Orange Tip butterfly which flies in Spring, has one brood then waits for a year as a pupa to emerge the following Spring.
