Nottingham is a white wildflower with a pink tint and hairy leaves. It’s heavy fragrance  fills the evening air. It is attractive to night-flying insects and moths. The walls of Nottingham Castle were once covered with these beautiful flowers and so they got their name. These flowers were destroyed during construction and renovation works of the castle in the 19th century. Nottingham catchfly has narrow and lance-shaped stem and  spoon-shaped lower leaves.
