Primrose - February Flower of the Month - ©CindyRippe2013 |
The Victorian language of flowers gives the Primrose meaning as: Young Love, I can't live without you, and I am yours forever. How appropriate for the month of February and Valentine's Day!
*The Primrose has the botanic name of Primula vulgaris
and is a low to the ground herb that flowers and is found mainly in
western and southern Europe including the British Isles. It is also
known as the Common Primrose and the English Primrose. It is one of the
earliest spring flowers to bloom, and when left alone can quickly cover
the ground in open woods and forests.
The Primrose is a relatively small flower, generally
25-40mm across and is normally found in a light yellow, almost white
hue, with a bright yellow center. However, in some areas wild pink
Primrose can be found growing, and as with the Carnation, cultivators have created Primrose in various other colors. *Botanical info source: babies online
Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow. John Lennon
