FLORAL CLIPART

PRIMROSE:

I'm going to start at the top with the evening primrose in pink (oenothera speciosa), which is my favorite of all primula.

Below are some pictures of these in my old garden. The petals are very thin and delicate and the morning light shining through

them was always so beautiful. They are actually as pink as the ones above, it's only the light through them that makes them look

almost white. Below these two pictures is another with different lighting that shows their pink.

The top 4 pictures are primula Viallii, a very different sort...

Below are primula Farinosa

...and primula Japonica

Most of the rest are the primroses you see for sale in early spring in all the grocery stores and Walmarts. I always buy some and put on

my windowsill. Later I'd plant them in the garden and they'd come up again the next spring.

This is a yellow evening primrose:

And this is a cowslip, which can be mistaken for a primrose, but its flowers hang down.
