Primula vulgaris

(Common Primrose) (thank you for the ask gem ily)

(Image by Edward Step and Désiré Bois, from Favorite flowers of garden and greenhouse, 1897)

History and Etymology: This flower was named for the Latin word for prime, "primus," as primroses are among the first to bloom in the spring. "Vulgaris" is the Latin word for "common," because the vulgaris is the overarching species of primrose. The primrose is native to Europe and Asia, and is an evergreen flower in temperate places.

Flower Symbolism: Depending on the source and color, the primrose has a large variety of meanings, but all of them are positive. The overall and most common meaning seems to be along the lines of early love, devotion, and happiness. Some sources have different meanings for specific colors, like pink primroses being symbolic of womanhood.

Fun Facts:

There are several subspecies of primrose, but only a few are widely recognized by botanists, like the Primula vulgaris sibthorpii, which colors more in the red to purple range.

The definition of a primrose shuffled a lot, over the years. It started as a large overarching identifier of many flowers in the 12th century, but was settled as the current definition we have in 1844.

You may think of the phrase "a primrose path" - this was coined by Shakespeare in his plays Hamlet and Macbeth. What the phrase means is the path of least resistance, sometimes thought of as taking the easy way out.

Arrived wayyy to early at the shooting range, so I spent the time looking at the area - and it did not disappoint! I am still shocked that the shooting range has more biodiversity in such a small area than most “national parks” in this country.

The quotation marks means that there are no national parks in this country... we have signs that says we do, but there is no difference between the so-called national parks and everywhere else: there is just as many factories, farmlands and villages in it as out of it.

Primrose

Primula vulgaris comes from Latin primus or "prime" as they appear just as snows are melting and are one of the first signs of spring in Europe. Commonly known as primrose, the semi-evergreen perennial has a fascinating history that dates back to the Ancient Greeks who called them "flower of the twelve gods" due to their medicinal use of the plant.

A popular English folklore belief was that children who ate primrose would then be able to see fairies. Shakespeare paid homage to the primrose with his frequent use of the phrase "the primrose path" to describe an easy and beautiful path in life. Charles Darwin studied primroses extensively, and in 1861 he published his findings about heterostyly and cross pollination that are still used today!

Primroses were British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli's favorite flower. Every year, on the anniversary of his death, you can find them on his statue in Westminister Abbey.

As the weather warms, look for primroses in forests, meadows, and along roadsides, railways, streams, and rivers. Enjoy them, take pictures, but please do not pick them as that is illegal in many countries.

The Primrose, in general, stands for youth and hope. Ointment from the petals of Primula vulgaris has been used as a wrinkle cream. Image above from Wikipedia. The Primrose is especially beloved by the English. It has been…

Primula vulgaris and Primula hybida (Common primrose and complex primula hybrid)

The word primula is derived from primis, Latin for 'first'. This refers to it's peak flowering season in early spring. Photos one and two are easily identified as the common primrose, Primula vulgaris, which originally had pale yellow flowers. Colored forms did not appear in Europe until 1656 when Primula acaulis rubra, a mauve primrose, was introduced from Turkey by John Tradescant. Thus began the Elizabethan primrose craze.

The final two primroses are complex hybrids, often the result of crossing and recrossing several species over centuries of cultivation. These fancy primroses look like cancan dancers to me and they certainly bring a bit of excitement to a spring garden, so I say, " Vive la différence!

I think the budding/green blossom item from Dark Souls is based on primrose (primula vulgaris) a medicinal herb native to Europe which was commonly used to cure fatigue in medieval times

primrose was commonly used in food and teas and was believed to harness healing properties from the sun and was used to ward off illness and melancholia. the 15th century Hortus Sanitatis states that "airy spirits dread the primrose’s sun-given power and will cease their torment" when placed near the heart.

primrose was featured in various poems, songs and art throughout history and has since become a protected species. the plant is so valuable that harming or even picking the flowers is considered a serious crime in most countries.
