Primroses (pink) - a photo on Flickriver

Primroses (pink)

            Now that the early spring flower season is mature and beginning to fade out, perhaps a little tribute to the ocean of flowers I get to enjoy every year in my garden.
All native species (I can count 10 maybe), developed and spread over decades, yet most prominent, or colorful I should say are the primroses: In the majority are the 'english' ones (Primula vulgaris), but there are also a couple of 'cowslip' ones (Primula veris). The former developed beautiful color variations over the years 😍, all natural!
I just recently educated myself a bit how this is coming about, quite interesting. 

Here is a pink example, cuddled to the trunk of my old maple tree. I've looked at these (primroses) so much, that I notice that all have kind of a "base color". It's either the pale yellow, or white! One can tell by the transitional areas around the always deep / saturated yellow center and the coloration of the outer petals, should there be one. Here this area is larger, other flowers have just a small rim, like the purple / blue I shared, which appears to have white as base color. Don't take this too seriously, that's just my own theory..
