Love you, darling

History It is believed that roses were grown in all the early civilisations of temperate latitudes from at least 5000 years ago. They are known to have been grown in ancient Babylon.[1] Records exist of them being grown in Chinese gardens and Greek gardens from at least 500BC.[2] Most of the plants grown in these early gardens are likely to have been either species collected from the wild, or selections from them. The significant breeding of modern times started slowly in Europe, from about the eighteenth century. This was encouraged by the introduction of new species, and especially by the introduction of the China rose in the nineteenth century. An enormous range of roses have been bred since then, grouped by parentage, use or floral form.

Primula florindae
Quote from wikipedia:
Primula florindae, also known as the giant cowslip, is a native of southeastern Tibet, where it grows in huge numbers close to rivers like the Tsangpo. It has clusters of 20–40 yellow bell-like flowers which hang from stalks up to 90–120 cm high, and a basal rosette of 5–20 cm long leaves. Delicately scented. It was first collected in 1924 by Frank Kingdon-Ward and was named after his wife Florind. This plant grows best in very moist conditions as its home is the margins of rivers. It is cold-hardy as long as its roots are not allowed to dry out. It is usually available from larger or specialist garden centres. Commonly known as the "Giant Himalayan Cowslip".
