Primevères

The primroses are blooming all around the yard. It's that time of year. The woman who sold us the house told us that she would plant potted primroses in the yard from time to time. Over the years they spread, but they especially like the shady north forty, as I like to call it. It's the section of yard close to the north end of the house that is mostly shaded from the sun in the fall, winter, and spring months.

Colorful primroses in the north forty.

Primroses grow wild pretty much all around the region, so I'm sure we'd have some whether the previous owner planted them or not. Our little flower show will be winding down by the time I cut the grass for the first time this season. If the first cut happens early, I'll spare the primroses until the next time.

  1. Such a beautiful way to enjoy primroses. I wonder if the ones at our front door in San Francisco have survived/thrived.
