One of the first signs of spring. The natural hardy primrose in my area is yellow but there are many varieties that are sold at local nurseries. Interesting to see each and their colorful display. I also like your choice of perspective.

John: I love the varying stages of the flowers and buds especially. I'm not as enamored with the leaf and wish it was a bit smaller and less prominent. I think a crop from the bottom would suit me a bit better but the main subjects carry the day.>=))>

Nice. I definitely think Bill is right about the leaf.

Yes I see what you mean.
I,ll have to do another one and see if I can find a smaller leaf.- or maybe tape it out of the way.
Cheers
