There are flowers running the gamut from native wildflowers such as the cowslip to exotic foreigners. |
We had some cowslip wine for dinner which I brought from the country with me. |
Evelyn also listed cowslip among eight flowers which were to be infused in vinegar and eaten in composed salads or alone. |
Primrose, cowslip, lady's mantle, bugle, thrift, clustered bellflower are widely available in garden centres, but are all natives. |
In the damp fields surrounding the streams I found cowslip, self heal and mayflower. |
What Sutherland finds in the landscape is quite different, of course, from Palmer's joy in every cowslip, but it is still a form of captivation. |
