When we first moved in we had some rather sickly looking cowslips in the lawn and I have tried to nurture them since then as we both love wild flowers. They must like the wet weather we have had this past year as they seem to be doing really well at the moment and have produced long stalks with lots of flowers over the past week. I have to put sticks in the lawn to save them from getting mown down!! They so so remind me of old fashioned pantaloons.
I noticed that the cowslips (and primroses) have done really well this year. I think it is partly down to the wet weather but also down to the cooler spring. I think that allowed them to flower later so they had more growing time.
