Primrose are herbaceous perennials of the Primulaceace family, it's a big family with over 500 species. This one might be Primula auricula or Alpine Show Pink. They're natives of the northern hemisphere and fond mostly in alpine and cool localities.
Tulips or Tulipa is a bulbous herb of the lily family comprising of a veiw hunderd species and several thousand horticultural forms. The wild forms come from the Old World from a region stretching from the Mediterranean to Japan. The term tulip mania (alternatively tulipomania) is used metaphorically to refer to any large economic bubble. The term originally came from the period in the history of the Netherlands during which demand for tulip bulbs reached such a peak that enormous prices were charged for a single bulb. It took place in the first part of the 17th century, especially in 1636–37. In 1623, a single bulb of a famous tulip variety could cost as much as a thousand Dutch florins (the average yearly income at the time was 150 florins). Tulips were also exchanged for land, valuable livestock and houses. A wealthy merchant had paid 3,000 florins (280 pounds sterling) for a rare Semper Augustus tulip bulb, and it disappeared from his warehouse. After thoroughly searching his warehouse, he saw a sailor (who had mistaken the tulip bulb for an onion; I thing oion are members of the lily family too) eating it. Eventually the bubble burst and the price of Tulips plummeted. People fond that Tulips they had paid thousands for were now worth next to nothing , which in 1637 caused a economic depression in the Netherland, which eventually spread to all of Europe. Sound like what’s going on with the housing problem here in the US. Will people never learn not to jump on the band wagon.

As you may know, Beth doesn’t like all of my ideas for the courtyard, some might say she doesn’t like any of my ideas. She’s rejected great ideas like; having a birch tree, a Japanese Red Maple or Wisteria in the courtyard. Even the Prime Rose and Lilies where rejected, (but I snuck them in anyway). My latest idea is to take the perennial sun flowers out to the G2G prairie and plant Climbing Hydrangea against the north wall. The Climbing Hydrangea are really neat, they grow to be 70-80 feet tall and have 10 inch big white flowers. They probable won’t get that big here in Minnesota. And guess what, Beth likes this idea. I think this is a first.
