Flowers of the Elan Meadows

Cowslip
Primula veris
The Cowslip is in
the Primrose family
or Primulaceae.
The leaves are
crinkled and have a
‘lollipop-like’ shape.
The pale-yellow
flowers are apricotscented.
Although
the flowers are
spreading and
drooping, they are
not turned to one
side like the oxlip.
Though common,
Cowslips can be an
indicator of a good
quality meadow.
