Primula denticulata / Drumstick Primula


This photo was taken at the Reader Rock Garden on 6 May 2015, when I called in after a volunteer shift. I think I have the correct ID for this plant. It felt so good to see a reasonable number of different flower species. Even though we had had a wonderfully mild winter, it still was a joy to see vibrant colours once again. I was glad to come across this photo in my archives last night, as it adds a splash of a different colour to my photostream.
"One of the easiest Primrose species to succeed with, performing well in a wide range of climates. Plants form a lush mound or rosette of large green leaves, bearing upright stems with a ball of flowers on the end, beginning in mid spring. Blooms range in colour from white through shades of pink, violet, blue and purple. Flowers are lightly fragrant, and wonderful for cutting. Plants prefer an evenly moist site, and will even grow well beside a pond or stream. In cool summer climates these will also succeed in full sun, provided with enough moisture." From Perennials.com.
