Cowslips.

We've seen a lot of these this year. They seem to be getting more common.

Re: Cowslips.

Lovely Alan ...... that takes me right back to my childhood when we were free to safely roam the fields and I used to pick a bunch of cowslips to take home to my Mum after a lovely day out playing in the sunshine.

Re: Cowslips.

That took me right back to my childhood too, they grew everywhere and ragged Robins and Parson in the pulpit,the hedgerows were full of flowers, now they are full of rubbish thrown from cars. We have a lot growing round here and Snowdrops.

Re: Cowslips.

They are very pretty. Where I grew up there was one field that was always full of cowslips, at the bottom of the field was a little stream where there were lots of Marsh Marigolds, everywhere looked bright yellow.
