Nottingham Catchfly
The flower Nottingham Catchfly derived its name from the fact that it used to grow on the walls of Nottingham Castle. But the construction and renovation of the castle destroyed all the flowers. The flower is native to rocky banks and eskers and blooms between June-July. It is a vespertine plant which simply means that it stays close in the day time and opens up in the late evening. The flowers are drooping with thinly divided petals and have a beautiful fragrance. These flowers attract various night flying insects, moths, and butterflies.
