And then she says to me "Have you ever heard of cowslips? Remember in the old days when people used to talk about pulling up the cowslips? Let's take a walk." So we walked out into her garden area (not as vast or diverse as Heidi's, I must admit) and she stooped down and dug up this adorable little P. veris. There were some red ones mixed in with the yellow and she pulled some seed heads and sprinkled the seeds in with this. So, wow.

Now I know...I must have hellebores, lots of hellebores. And Euphorbia. She has several varieties there, one that struck in in particular was "Blackbird." Reminded me a lot of the "Orange Grove" we got from Heidi. Anyway, and Primula. I love these little guys!
