Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Primula incana

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.

Also known as Jones Primrose.

This teeny member of the Primrose family has five deeply notched, pale lilac to pink petals. The stems are less than 12 cm tall and the flowers are 10-20 mm across. I have tried on three occasions to phtoograph these tiny flowers and now finally give up any hope of ever getting a sharp photo, LOL!
