You know it’s spring when the primrose flowers! I didn’t even know that we had one in the watermeadow, and it looks as though it’s been blooming for a while. It was at the foot of the stone steps under the sea buckthorns.
Primroses are common and widespread. They thrive in woodland, grassland, and hedgerows. They are an important food source for early butterflies and I’m please to say that in between all the rain, we have seen peacock, red admiral and ‘white’ (from a distance) butterflies down there already.
