#198 - Cowslip

Such an ugly name for a flower,  and apparently it has some charming epithets - 'key flower', 'key of heaven', 'fairy cups' and, my personal favourite, the delightful, 'peggle'. Walking out this afternoon, the grass crowded with cowslips, the air was full of their subtle fragrance. It was like inhaling Spring, taking in deep breaths of its essence, life, hope, light... whatever it is that Spring means that so lifts the heart.
