Primroses around Cratfield

posted in: Home | 0

Primroses crowd into the ditches and field edges now, a beautiful soft yellow, with the flowers on single stems, nestling amongst the leaves. Primula vulgaris.

Except some are darker yellow, with a head of flowers on a long, single stem. Primula elatior?

And this may be an early cowslip? Primula veris?

And some are pink, and these are perhaps a genetic variation rather than the known subspecies?
