    :thumb: Oh shiney they are just beautiful.. I think they brighten up those dreary days. I encourage as many as I can to self seed, although for some reason my white ones always get munched really badly, but never the colour ones..!! Always lovely to see cowslips, we always had a huge wild patch in a field near me, but over the last couple of years they have started to decline.. It can only be, because the land isn't grazed any more, just cut mechanically...!!:(

    :thumb: Thanks for sharing shiney.. Really cheerful..:)

    Have to agree.. cowslips give us one of the first flushes of colour in the spring.
    Several years ago I planted a yellow and allowed self seeding. I now have a clump of orange/red as well..:gnthb:
