6/6/2023 0 Comments Pink prim rose![]() ![]() In Central Europe plants thrive best on nutrient-rich, but lime-poor, humus-rich, loose and often stony loam soils in winter-mild situations. It is found mainly by streams, under bushes, in orchards and clear, moist deciduous forests. ![]() vulgaris can cover the ground in open woods and shaded hedgerows. To the east, the range extends through the southern European peninsulas to the Crimea, Balkans, Syria, Turkey and Armenia. In the north, the distribution area extends from central Norway near the Faroe Islands via the British Isles, Denmark, northern Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France to southern Portugal in the south and the tip of North Africa in Algeria. vulgaris encompasses western and southern Europe. Pin-to-pin and thrum-to-thrum pollination is ineffective. Fertilisation can only take place between pin and thrum flowers. The flowers are hermaphrodite but heterostylous individual plants bear either pin flowers ( longuistylous flower: with the capita of the style prominent) or thrum flowers ( brevistylous flower: with the stamens prominent). The flowers are actinomorphic with a superior ovary which later forms a capsule opening by valves to release the small black seeds. The flowers are typically pale yellow, though white or pink forms are often seen in nature. The delicately scented flowers are 2–4 cm in diameter, borne singly on short slender stems. The single stem, extremely short, is hidden in the centre of the leaf rosette. The leaf blade is gradually attenuated towards the base and unevenly toothed. The leaves are 5–25 cm long and 2–6 cm broad, often heavily wrinkled, with an irregularly crenate to dentate margin. It flowers in early spring in the northern hemisphere (February–April) on slopes and meadows. Primula vulgaris is a perennial growing 10–30 cm (4–12 in) tall, with a basal rosette of leaves which are more-or-less evergreen in favoured habitats. The Latin specific epithet vulgaris means "common", in the sense of "widespread". The vernacular name has the same meaning: primrose derives from a late Latin form prima rosa, consisting of prima, "first" (feminine), and rosa, "rose". The scientific name Primula is a diminutive of the Latin primus, "prime", alluding to the fact that this flower is among the first to appear in spring. None of these are closely related to the evening primroses (genus Oenothera). The common name is primrose, or occasionally common primrose or English primrose to distinguish it from other Primula species also called primroses. Primula vulgaris, the common primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa, and parts of southwest Asia. ![]()
