The name primrose actually derives from the Latin prima rosa meaning 'first rose' of the year (although it is not actually a member of the rose family). It was chosen as the County flower of Devon .Its pale yellow flowers with orange centers can be a common sight across the UK. Wrinkled, spoon-shaped leaves form a rosette at the plant's base, from which these grow. It is a plant of woodland clearings, hedgebanks, waysides and open grassland preferring clay soils.
