English primrose

A sweet and gentle wayside flower. Primula vulgaris. But nothing vulgar about these gems of woodland floors.

 

You can eat the flowers in salads raw or cooked in custards or baked in tarts. The leaves are best raw in salads. They have a slight anise flavor.

 

Boil flowers in lard to make an ointment for cuts and skin conditions. Make a tisane with the flowers for rheumatism and to ease the mind.

 

All from this charming flower. You can even just look at them πŸ˜„
