I could have called today's blog "Serendipity" or "Perfect Timing" but instead chose the Latin name for these lovely native wild flowers. Apparently today (April 19th) is Primrose Day.
I had no idea when I selected the pictures but doing a little bit of research I discovered that today is the anniversary of the death of the British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and these were his favourite flowers. It is reputed that Queen Victoria regularly sent him bunches of Primroses and now each year n the anniversary of his death bunches or primroses are laid at his statue in Westminster Abbey. So purely by chance the pictures are a fitting post for this particular day.
