Cowslip - Primula veris

Local names of Cowplop, cowslop and cowslup would suggest it grows well on manured land. Also a traditional love divination whereby balls of Cowslip blossom were tied together.

In Herefordshire make a ball of Cowslip blossom, and toss it in the air, using the words - tisty tosty, tell me true, who shall I be marred to ? While the ball is in the air, possible lovers are recited until the ball falls.
