“Fair handed spring unbosoms ev’ry grace, 
Throws out the Snowdrop and the Crocus first, 
The Daisy, Primrose, Violet darkly blue, 
And Polyanthus of unnumbered dyes: ... 
... rom the soft wing of vernal breezes shed 
Anemones; Auriculas enrich’d 
W.th shining meal o’er all their velvet leaves...” 
James Thomson (1700-1748) 
All of the Primrose types in this section are used for bedding and
