      The green veins on the sepals are lovely, aren't they :) Hope you find the time before they're over.

    Lovely flower Tim! Are the white variants common?

      Thanks Tom. I've only seen them at the location I got these photos. In this field both the pink and white variants were common - it wasn't until I got home that I realised that purple is the default colour!
