ACAULIS 
The luck o’ the Irish held in bygone days if enough wild 
Primroses could be gathered against Walpurgis Night—the 
Eve of May Day—when witches were really troublesome. Now 
it seems that witches, too, could not resist Primroses but 
must stop and look, and if enough blossoms were scattered 
over the threshhold dawn would catch them still counting 
petals with no mischief done and time to depart. 
Acaulis do have a long blooming period often lasting 
from December until May. Blues, especially, will continue 
to bud under ice and snow, and before the last signs of 
winter have gone, there will be bits of blue scattered here 
and there like pieces of sky. The flowers of all Acaulis are 
carried on individual stems which fountain over the plants 
in great profusion, tightly rolled buds developing rose-like 
into blooms which expand to SLB: though well-propor- 
tioned, size.
