Mealy Primrose

Mealy Primrose
This is an uncommon wildflower in the city, so we were very lucky to be shown it again this year. I never seem to be able to get a sharp photo of it, so then have to wait a whole year for my next chance : ) The flowering stem, which is 10-40 cm tall, is covered in white powder. The pale lilac to pink flowers themselves are 6-10 mm across, so only very tiny. The plant grows in sloughs, calcareous bogs and saline meadows. Seen at the Lawrey Gardens end of Edworthy Park. Also known as Jones Primrose.
