Species Primrose
Isn’t this sweet?
Flowers about 1/2 inch across, stem about three inches tall. Not as spectacular as those Primroses you buy at the Superstore, but more like nature intended. Native to Sweden and Norway. This is actually lighter in color than I expected. It should be more like this.
Primula scandinavica

Natural is beautiful. I like those flowers, too. You are broadening my flower horizons. Wish I had the time and patience to have flowers around. I’d rather knit than play in the dirt, but love it when you do. Have a good day.

Wonder if the color varies with soil pH? What other variables affect flower colors?

Sometimes I wonder if flowers’ color intensity doesn’t vary with sunlight exposure. We had two sets of primroses (you know — the kind you can buy in bulk from Costco) and one pink set we brought inside and one was sent outside. The one outside stayed vivid in color but when the new flowers opened on the one inside (no direct sun) they were much more pastel! Maybe it’s my imagination…

Both soil and light can cause differences in plant colors (i.e. Hydrangas - Pink or Blue). It’s very possible that the potting soil too acid or alkaline and the plant is sitting at the front edge of a covered deck. Morning sun only.
Still it’s a pretty little thing.
