Forgive me, sweet primrose!

 
I used to turn my nose up at primroses. I thought they were rather silly little flowers. Frilly, superficial little posies, that's what I called them. I hated their foliage and detested weeding around them. That's what I used to say.

But I've had a change of heart. Sweet, hardy little blossom! You risk coming out to visit with me before the late winter frosts are over. You are stubbornly cheerful and ever-so-optimistic. Please forgive my snobbishness and stay on my porch for a while this spring!

    Yes Joanne- they are happy! I'm going to try and keep mine going all summer too!

    Bookie-we have daffodils, crocus, grape hyacinth, cherry blossoms, and primrose blooming. And forsythia. And some things I can't name. Spring has sprung here in the Pacific N.W.!

    Such cheery faces and sublime colours. Thank you. I will plant some toward the end of winter here, and know that they will make me smile early next spring.

    Elephants Child, From what I've read it sounds as,though you are planting a veritable Garden of Eden!
    Ellen, will they survive even in baskets?
