Cowslip flowers
A screenshot of my camera roll showing colourful spring flowers: Primroses, Cowslip, Forget Me Nots, Snakeshead Fritillaries, Grape Hyacinths, Marsh Marigolds and Tulips.
Took a photo for the #CowslipChallenge and have remembered just in time! My camera roll is full of our garden's colourful spring flowers 🥰 🌈 #WildflowerHour
And is it OK to share someone else's photo for the #WildflowerHour #CowslipChallenge? It's so beautiful. Picture of @theul.bsky.social store at Ely taken by Eliot Lees.
Cowslips with visiting ladybird, goat willow, blossom, common daisy, ground ivy, good Friday grass & gorse.
#WildflowerHour too late! 😱But I had managed the #CowslipChallenge at #BrockholesNatureReserve on Thursday along with goat willow, blossom, common daisy, ground ivy, good Friday grass & gorse. @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social #Lancashire #vitaminN

We tend to think of grassland as “open”, but it has a canopy which is also seasonal.
Cowslip (Primula veris) peaks before the sward closes, much as Primrose (Primula vulgaris) does before woodland leaf-out.
The strategy is to beat the canopy.

There are lots of Cowslips in my field but probably not at their peak yet, here are some for #wildflowehour #cowslipchallenge
A lovely selection of blooms for tonight's #WildFlowerHour, huge thanks to everyone who shared photos: great to see so many cowslips for the #CowslipChallenge!
Have a great week plant-hunting now spring is here, see you next Sunday & keep an eye out for the next @wildflowerhour.bsky.social challenge

Cowslips in Dorset

Just a couple of flowers found for this week's #cowslipchallenge taken in Dorset earlier this week before my holiday.
A bit of a favourite spring flower - they are the perfect shade of yellow!
Plus, as it's Easter, some gratuitous spring lambs, mid bounce!! 😃

Cowslips have been appearing everywhere over the last few days. #cowslipchallenge #wildflowerhour
My little #CowslipChallenge project: turning my lawn into a cowslip-friendly habitat. Two years after planting them, the first seedlings are here this spring! #WildflowerHour #NoMowMay

Surprised to bump into this single cowslip in flower on one of my early evening walks 💛
This area has only recently dried out after being submerged most of the winter.

Cowslips are rare here, so if I'd completed the #CowslipChallenge you could have knocked me down with a - well, a Greater Stitchwort!(Stellaria holostea)
So flimsy, it was used long ago to heal broken bones (holostea='entire bone') @bsbibotany.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social #PlantAtlas2020

Strange weekend away from home, on the receiving end of the pace egg play, finishing some work, and a whole thing with a dead pipit, but as soon as I arrived at the holiday let on Friday, I saw a patch for #cowslipchallenge + roared yersssssssse! to myself. I even shook a fist in the air!
Some of the offspring of my wild-collected Primula veris, Cowslip, have been heavily fasciated. The cause unknown, since I never use herbicide, which is one of the common causes of fasciation.

So many cowslips around now, some naturalised in our garden and nearby verges using locally collected wild seed.
Primula veris L., Cowslip. Now naturalised in my garden from seed, wild collected in 2014. I can show you exactly where. It has proved vigorous and very fertile, and its offspring are legion.
