A Sturdy Primrose



When we removed the heavy layer of leaf mulch from the front yard flower beds last weekend, we found this sturdy little primrose left over from last spring and summer. Over the winter, it multiplied about three times its original size, and while the flowers were small and rather pale, they will quickly recover and have dark green leaves and full, white flowers. I love the hardiness of this plant, and have them all over my yard this time of year in pots, in flower beds, and in flower boxes on the picket fence.
