“In all my mountain wanderings I had not seen a more beautiful flower than this Primula, the fine raindrops clung to its soft petals like galaxies of seed-pearls and frosted its leaves with silver."
- Quote by British mountaineer Frank S Smythe, on his discovery of ‘Valley of flowers’.

Cradled between mountains
Valley sleeps in beauty
Swaying to chosen winds
Smiling to the blessed eyes
Beaming divine silence
Only clouds caress them
Riot of changing hues
Blooming just, right on cue

The primrose and the primula
Are really very simula
But out in Wales
The slugs and snails
Make both of them look grimula

Yellow primula
Tubelike corollas
With five spreading lobes
Can't get one to grow
In my small herb garden plot
Armadillo digs
