I love primroses.  This idea was sketched out after an afternoon with my five year old daughter at our favorite nursery this past spring.  My daughter calls the nursery, “the Flower Store” and it is one of her favorite destinations.  We both delighted in selecting our favorite variety of Primroses.   We planted them together in our garden one lovely afternoon.   We had a wonderful time with just the two of us and our primroses.
