Flowers - Primroses

I'm not an expert about botany, but I do love flowers. And my favourite wild flower is the primrose. It grows wild in the UK, springing up from February to April, as a rule. Primroses are usually pale yellow - but cultivated varieties can be different colours. Primroses grow in ditches and thrive in damp soil. They also grow under bushes and in woods. It is a small fragile flower but will last for a few days if kept in water. Disraeli, the Victorian Conservative leader was said to like them and Queen Victoria believed they were his favourite flower. She sent a wreath of them when he was buried.
