The cowslip has many folk names. These include 'key of heaven', 'paigles', 'bunch of keys' and 'herb Peter'. The name cowslip actually means 'cow-slop' (i.e cowpat) because of its choice of meadow habitat.

Another great effect of reading Nicholson. I've been doing some work on 'Weeds', and now I can't stop looking at the ground! I spotted cornflower, cowslip, red campion & crosswort down the old canal path in Hincaster.

Cowslip’s on … #SundayYellow

A sunny day at last with the wildlife group in south Shrops, in a Cowslip-infested meadow. Absolutely glorious! Chuffed to see Dotted Bee-fly (/flies) enjoying the Cowslips as much as we were.

Shakespeare Species Quote of the Day, OXLIPS: I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, where oxlips and the nodding violet grows. Oxlips, delicate and stately are a symbol of spring & closely related to the Primrose & Cowslip. #shakespearespecies
