valentinziA single blooming Cowslip (Primula veris, Echte Schlüsselblume) stands out from a dense ground cover of Alpine Milk-vetch (Astragalus alpinus, Alpen-Tragant).
Astragalus alpinus is a perennial legume native to alpine and arctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. It grows low to the ground, forming mats with pinnate leaves and clusters of purple to bluish flowers that bloom in summer. Well adapted to cold, nutrient-poor soils, it often colonizes rocky slopes, meadows, and tundra environments. Astragalus alpinus plays an important role as a nitrogen fixer, enriching poor soils and supporting plant succession in harsh mountain habitats. It also provides nectar for pollinators like bees and butterflies and forage for herbivores such as mountain sheep and reindeer in some regions.

How many kinds of sweet flowers growIn an English Irish country suburban garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those that I miss you'll surely pardon..Bush Vetch (Vicia sepium)Cowslip (Primula veris)Scarlet Pimpernel (Lysimachia arvensis)Meadow Foam (Limnanthes douglasii) aka Poached Egg Plant
These are all wild flowers, often considered to be weeds, but I like having them in my garden!

Thousands of European citizen scientists helped identify shifts in the floral traits of insect-pollinated plants
The results of cowslip observations carried out with the help of citizen scientists from 32 countries in over 5,200 locations shed light on the well-being of insect-pollinated plants under changing climate and land use conditions. The study was made possible thanks to the contribution of European science enthusiasts. It revealed some surprising results recently published in the Journal of Ecology, one of the longest-standing top-level journals in this field.
