2) Primroses are my #1 flower always. They come in so many colors and combinations. They're just such happy little promises of better days ahead. I especially adore the picotee edging on this one.
Here's the rainfall totals from the closest weather station. This is going to go up overnight. And again tomorrow. Then the next day. Wish I could share some with some of y'all. I know you're hurting for it.
