Primrose

Portrait of Beauty

I don’t remember when I fell in love with Primrose (Primula).  I just noticed that the variety of colors have increased in our garden and I still look for new colors to add to our collection.  These little prim looking flowers are tougher than they look.  They stay close to the ground and don’t need much care.  Once in a while I have to pick slugs off them.

A few have already bloomed this spring even though on some days the temperature dropped close to the freezing point.  A few more colors out there are still too shy or too cold to unfurl their petals.  So, the brave ones deserve there fifteen seconds of fame.
