On a January morning with below zero temps with wind chills on top of that, I set out in the morning to get my five mile walk in (at the mall) and stopped on the way home to hunt for a few blooms I had my heart set on...
A few primroses for $2.50 each from the home center were brought home and wrapped in foil from the kitchen, set out on vintage saucers from a garage sale, then plopped in a tiered wire planter found at the Amish store years back.
It's just a little somethin' to tide us over until there are buds bursting on the trees and blooms coming out of the ground.
It makes me smile each time I walk past...
(And the primroses say: "Any survival tips would be appreciated.")

Joni,
The primroses are so pretty ! Just make sure the water can drain from the pot so their roots don't rot sitting in the water.
Such a dainty, colorful touch of early spring !
I need to walk our local mall more often !
Have a nice weekend ! Right now it is minus 3 and windchill factor is minus 15 ~
Hugs,
Linda

My gardening book says this about primrose care:
The biggest challenges of keeping this indoor beauty happy are its moisture and light requirements. Dry soil or direct sun will make primrose flowers wilt. Find a cool place for your plant. A bright sun porch is ideal. Pinch off spent blooms to extend blooming time.
Enjoy! They look so pretty! :0)
Very nice splash of color!
Blessings,
Aimee
