To start with, some pictures from the Isle of Eigg.
A very out-of-season primrose, taken on 5th September.
Ten days later these flowers had been eaten, but the plant had produced another flower and bud.Although garden primroses quite commonly flower out of season, the wild ones are less inclined to do so and mostly flower in March to May. Other out-of-season ones I've seen have been December (Eigg, 2005) and 18th August (Skye, 2008).
