Primula scotica, the Scottish Primrose
Painting No. 66
To a non-botanist, the Scottish primrose barely looks like a primrose at all. It is a tiny plant with purple flowers that are only yellow in the centre. The rosette of leaves looks vaguely primrose-ish, but that is often hidden beneath the stems and leaves of neighbouring plants and grasses. Nevertheless, for all its shyness it is a beautiful little plant, well worth the trouble of seeking out. I have given no map to help, however, since Primula scotica is a rare and protected species. Suffice it to say that you should be able to locate it in the cliff-top turf of the north coast headlands, especially during its two flowering seasons of May-June and July-August. You will need patience, however, and the willingness to get down onto your knees - two qualities that are also becoming rare these days.
