Primroses (purple / blue)
Now that the early spring flower season is mature and beginning to fade out, perhaps a little tribute to the ocean of flowers I get to enjoy every year in my garden.
All native species (I can count 10 maybe), developed and spread over decades, yet most prominent, or colorful I should say are the primroses: In the majority are the 'english' ones (Primula vulgaris), but there are also a couple of 'cowslip' ones (Primula veris). The former developed beautiful color variations over the years π, all natural!
I just recently educated myself a bit how this is coming about, quite interesting.
I would not say these are my favorite, but the simple fact that for a long time, I had only one single spot, one plant in my garden with this purple / blue color variation. That alone makes it special, but I also think it's gorgeous too.
