I researched primulas or natural cowslips already last year. I would like to see in nature especially the special ones: Idrija, Carniolan, hairy, smallest and hybrid of yellow-flowered Trnovski.
The most common is of course our beloved trumpet primrose. Furthermore, we have spring cowslip-Primula veris, which occurs in three subspecies. Thus: common spring cowslip, white-mealy spring cowslip and grayish spring cowslip. The most common is of course the common spring cowslip-Primula veris subsp. veris. The other two we will find more on the coast than elsewhere. The flowers are somewhat the same in all three, but they differ in leaves and thus good connoisseurs recognize them. I have not yet recognized these two subspecies.
In Gorenjska, the tall cowslip is practically at home, and it is also collected as a medicinal plant.
In the pastures around Špik at Hude police, I saw three other, say, red-tinted cowslips that I have not seen here. About that some other time. I saw long-stemmed Haller's cowslip and stemless violet smallest cowslip. That was a few years ago and at that time I did not devote myself so much to photographing mountain flowers. Anyway, this year I will go to that area twice - with Škofja Loka hikers.
My friend from Austria already invited me last year to explore over the border, but due to my mountain accident there was no summer and autumn season. She is a great lover of mountain flowers, but I do not publish her photos. We will look for hairy cowslip-Primula hirsuta, entire-leaved cowslip-Primula integrifolia, splendid cowslip-Primula spectabilis, smallest cowslip-Primula minima and Piedmont cowslip-Primula pedemontana, I know that this one is similar to our glutinous one, and golden trumpet-Primula vitaliana.
But we all probably know auricula and perhaps also Wulfen's cowslip, which is not yellow like all the other mentioned ones. Of course, we must not forget the two so colorfully colored ones - glutinous and long-flowered, which we will now often see.
