 Primula vulgaris or commonly known as primrose, common primrose or english primrose (πρίμουλα) belongs to the Primulaceae family. It is native to Europe, northern Africa and western Asia. The name comes from Medieval Latin prima rosa meaning first rose. One interesting fact about this flower is that male and female organs are on separate flowers. It is one of the first flowers to come out in spring and it can be often seen in gardens.
