Cardamine pratensis, also called lady’s smock, meadow cress, bittercress, or cuckoo flower, by the Steall Waterfall in Scotland. This is one of the most showy Cardamine species, and is often used as an ornamental garden flower. It’s technically edible, but because it’s small and prettier to look at, it’s not often eaten. Cuckoo flower is circumpolar and can be found wild in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Cuckoo flower / lady's smock / milkmaids Cardamine pratensis They are called cuckoo flowers due to the foamy froghopper (spittle bug) nests which can often be found on them and which were referred to as cuckoo spittle or witches spittle.
The flower is said to be sacred to fairies and should never be plucked in bloom or brought indoors. Making a flower crown from them is said to bring bad luck for this reason.
As a medicinal herb it was used against rheumatism as well as kindney and liver problems, mostly due to very high levels of vitamin C.

Phaela
Fourth in my portrait series is my own girl, Phaela Murphy, tiefling soup twilight cleric and circle of stars druid. DM is @bacoj8.
Flowers
Huckleberry (Vaccinium parvifolium) : simple leisure, faith. Phaela's patron god, Thelona, is the god of simple pleasures.
Cineraria: always delighted
Queen Anne’s lace/Wild carrot (Daucus carota): sanctuary, home
Celery (Apium graveolens): Feasting, festivity
Stephanotis: desire to travel, friendship. Phaela and her best friend Izen live together in her truck, traveling from town to town in search of work and sights to see.
Bloodroot/Sweet slumber (Sanguinaria canadensis): protective love
Purple hyacinth (Hyacinthus): Benevolence, rashness, impulsivity, play, grief, please forgive me. Phaela's virtue name is Temerity, which suits her well-meaning but somewhat impulsive need to help others. She is playful and kind, but carries a deep grief as well.
Bluebonnet (Lupinus subcarnosus): self sacrifice, survival
Meadow cress (Cardamine pratensis): ardor, devotion, enthusiasm. According to folk belief, this flower brings bad luck if brought into the home. It is not included in May Day wreaths and garlands because some believed that wearing it would offend the fae, who would drag you underground into another world. Phaela was separated from her home forever when, in order to ditch a deal with a hag, she trapped herself in the Shadowfell.
Night Convolvulus (Convolvulus): night, repose, rebirth, affection, embrace
Sunflower (Helianthus): warmth, nourishment, devotion. This flower is redundant, I just wanted it as a treat. Yellow :)
Forget me not (Myosotis): Clinging to the past, do not forget me, faithful love, memories. Ough.
Check out the rest of the Pringles Party!
Theseus | Izen | Yancy | “Red”

Make Way For Sweet Mayflowers
Baz
“Where are you taking me?” I ask, gasping for breath as I chase after Simon, who is running at full speed up a very steep hill. 
“Come on you slow poke!” he yells back at me as he sprints away.
“Not fair, you’ve trained for this your entire life,” I pant as we reach the top of the hill.
“What, running away from a difficult prince?” 
I can’t help but roll my eyes. 
I’ll show him difficult. I grab his side and start tickling him like crazy. He shrieks. Simon’s always been so ticklish. 
He falls to the ground, taking me with him, and we start to roll down the hill, screaming and laughing as we go.
When we finally reach the bottom our garments are covered in grass and dirt. So is Simon’s hair. The grass is all throughout his curls.
I resist the urge to brush my fingers through his hair. If I do I’m not quite sure that my heart wouldn’t explode. 
Simon doesn’t hold himself back though. He runs his fingers through my hair, ruffling it all up. I suppose he doesn’t have to hold himself back. To be fair, as far as he’s concerned, we’re just two best friends, platonically enjoying each others company.
I try to brush as much dirt as I can off my tunic to no avail. Father will kill me. 
Today was a nightmare. I decided to wear my hair out for my first council meeting, which Father did not approve of. He made it his mission to ruin my day. He even made Penny tuck my hair into my crown before the second meeting, even though he knows how my crown gives my headaches. 
By the time the afternoon rolled around I was ready to go to my room and crash, but Simon decided to drag me outside. 
He said I didn’t have to go, but who am I to refuse him?
Simon finally brushes the leaves out of his hair. Or attempts to. His curls are untameable. 
Once he seems happy enough with the state of his curls he grabs my hand. 
“Close your eyes.” 
He tugs me, and I stumble towards him. 
“Don’t let me trip over, Snow.”
We walk for what feels like hours before he stops us and spins me around. He lets go of my hand and covers my eyes.
“Open.” he says as he drops his hands.
I open my eyes to a green meadow, that seems to stretch on for forever. The long grass is dotted with pink flowers. 
“It’s beautiful,” I say “How on earth did you find it?”
Simon blushes and looks out towards the field. 
“I stumbled across it the last time I went to visit Ebb.” 
I walk towards the flowers, leaning down to smell them. 
Simon leans down beside me.
“Cardamine pratensis. Mayflowers. My mother used to tell me about how they were the fairies favourite flower. They were always her favourite. After she died I stopped seeing them. I used to think it was the fairies way of telling me they missed her too.”
He looks up at me and smiles. “She loved that sort of stuff. Fairies and dragons, princes and knights. She’s the reason I became a knight in the first place.”
“She sounds wonderful.” 
“She was. She would have loved you. Not just because you’re a prince. That definitely would’ve helped though. Not that you don’t look much like a prince right now.”
I glare at him and he giggles.
“Come on. I want to show you something else she taught me.”
He pulls me into the field of flowers, and he starts carefully removing the flowers from the ground. He looks back up at me.
“Come on precious. Don’t just stand there, help me out.”
I flop down next to him and start grabbing the flowers. 
Simon grabs my hands.
“Hey, hey, be gentle! We can’t use them if they’re all broken.”
Once he decides we have enough flowers he starts weaving them together. I watch in amazement as his fingers fly around. 
“I didn’t know you were capable of being gentle, Snow.”
He glares up at me, but keeps weaving the flowers. 
“Knock it off. You know I hate that nickname.”
“Well I like it, so it’s staying.”
I lie down on the grass and watch the clouds pass by. 
Suddenly, Simon thrusts his flowery creation towards me. 
It’s a flower crown.
“Perfect for a prince.”
He shoves it onto my head. He tilts his head and frowns.
“Something isn’t right.” he says, still frowning at me.
“What?” I say, confused.
“AHA! I’VE CRACKED IT!” he shouts, almost deafening me.
The next thing I know, he runs around to stand behind me. I’m puzzled for a second, until I feel him untying my hair from the tight bun Father made me wear. Simon turns me around to face him.
“Much better. Makes you look more like my Baz, not just some boring Prince.” 
Externally I feign offence. 
Internally I replay the words ‘my Baz’ on loop in my head. 
How I wish I was his. Not that he could ever know that.
“A flower crown for the gay prince. How fitting.”
Simon shoves me. “You know I didn’t mean it like that, you prick.”
I laugh.
“Thank you Snow. I love it.”
I love you. 
I love how much you care about others. Even when they’re mean pricks to you for the first couple of years.
We make our way back to castle as the sun starts to set, traipsing up all those stupid hills (Simon may have carried me up a few. Not because I couldn’t walk up them. I just wanted an excuse to be near him). 
Just before we walk over the drawbridge, Simon stops me.
“Wait. Baz.”
“Yes?” I say as Simon tugs me a little bit away from the drawbridge.
“You can’t bring the flower crown inside. It’s bad luck. The fairies will curse you.” he says, ever so seriously.
I hold back a giggle. He’s adorable.
He mistakes my pause for hesitation.
“I’ll make you more. With non curse-y flowers. I promise.”
Well I can’t say no to that, can I? 
Just as I’m about to put down the crown, I see a tiny little girl and her mother watching us from a distance. Simon looks at them and then back to me.
“Go on.” he says nudging me towards them.
Father never really allows me to talk to our subjects. Apparently talking to the people you are supposed to serve is considered ‘unprincely’. 
I take a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves, and lean down to face the little girl.
“Would you like this flower crown? It’s filled with fairy magic. The fairies wanted me to give it to a girl fit to be a princess. You’re the perfect match.”
She peeks out from behind her mothers legs.
I kneel down and hold out the flower crown.
“Here.”
She waddles cautiously towards me. I place the crown on her. 
“I, Prince Basilton of Watford, hereby name you the Fairy Princess.”
She smiles and runs back to her mother.
I dust off my trousers as Simon and I watch them start to walk away. 
“You’ll be a great King, Baz.”
He walks off towards the castle.
I go to follow him, but before I do, I glance back for a second. I watch as the little girl twirl around in her flower crown.
“I really hope so.”

Phylotranscriptomics provides a treasure trove of flood tolerance mechanisms in the Cardamineae tribe
Flooding events are highly detrimental to most terrestrial plant species. However, there is an impressive diversity of plant species that thrive in flood-prone regions and represent a treasure trove of unexplored flood-resilience mechanisms. Here we surveyed a panel of four species from the Cardamineae tribe representing a broad tolerance range. This included the flood-tolerant Cardamine pratensis, Rorippa sylvestris and Rorippa palustris and the flood-sensitive species Cardamine hirsuta. All four species displayed a quiescent strategy, evidenced by the repression of shoot growth underwater. Comparative transcriptomics analyses between the four species and the sensitive model species Arabidopsis thaliana were facilitated via de-novo transcriptome assembly and identification of 16,902 universal orthogroups at a high resolution. Our results suggest that tolerance likely evolved separately in the Cardamine and Rorippa species. While the Rorippa response was marked by a strong downregulation of cell-cycle genes, Cardamine minimized overall transcriptional regulation. However, a weak starvation signature was a universal trait of tolerant species, potentially achieved in multiple ways. It could result from a strong decline in cell-cycle activity, but is also intertwined with autophagy, senescence, day-time photosynthesis and night-time fermentation capacity. Our dataset provides a rich source to study adaptational mechanisms of flooding tolerance. http://dlvr.it/T4d3hp
