| It does look rather like a Primula. But it is not the cowslip (Primula veris), which is a similar looking and fairly common spring-blooming yellow Primula. FataMorgana |

| The five-petal flowers appear to be arranged in umbels. The relatively large basal leaves appear to have entire (smooth) margins and are ovate. They appear to be blooming mid-Spring. |
|
| They could be either False Oxlips, a hybrid between P veris and P vulgaris, which occurs quite often, or true Oxlips, Primula elatior. The bluebells, I believe, are Spanish bluebells, judging by the colour and the way the flowers are held. |
