Today's Flower

This is another photo from the archives.  I can't for the life of me remember what this plant is called, I though it was part of the primrose family?  I had this growing at the other house, wish I had transplanted it and brought it with me.

Hi Gill, I wish I could help you out with the flower's name, but I am a total ninny when it comes to gardening. :-) I was thrilled to read that you had take the little plants with you when you moved though, since I did the same thing. I have plants in my yard from my childhood house, and I love that they have set roots in this country just like I have!

thanks for letting me know about my blog taking a long time to download (or upload?). I did not know that since no one told me that before. I took a few of the glitter graphics out, so I hope that might out. Let me know if it is a bit faster now. Other then that, I have no idea why it would take so long since I don't have Playlist or anything like that, which is notorious for taking a long time. a mystery????

have a good weekend, what is left of it. Debby

Hi Gill I believe it is a primula. At first glance I thought spring had already sprung up there, but then I remembered you still have snow! Lovely flower though.

It certainly looks like a hardy plant. Love the centers of the bloom.
I bet someone will be able to identify it. :)

Hi Gill. I grow similar primulas in one of my shade gardens. I bet they will do well in your new one!

Well, a rose by any other name...

It is a type of polyanthus, my granddad used to call them Dusty Millar's. I have no idea why.

The gift that keeps on giving part 2!

 Not sure if you remember, but when we came back from vacation, we brought an extra gift back with us; a stomach bug!  I posted about it her...
