May 24: Pink Primrose

The pink primrose has lots of blooms. This plant was recommended to me as being a nice native plant to have in my garden. Well, it is nice to have because it grows in all kinds of adverse conditions. It is certainly a hardy plant. It does have beautiful pink blossoms. However, it spreads worse than any weed I have ever encountered. I have reached a compromise deal with the pink primrose. It can grow on a slope that is difficult to mow. If the primrose srpeads to a garden bed, then I can pull it out of that garden bed. This pink primrose does spread. I even found a start in an elevated (waist high) garden bed!

This photo is for the BW garden challenge, so it is in BW. Please use your imagination about the pink color.
I know its for the challenge and looks good but much prefer to see that pretty pink I know it would be!

@maggiemae I placed the color version of the photo in my 365 2 album. P.S. I like the color version better. I see the world in color, so it is difficult for me to do black and white photos.

Lovely capture and great B/W.

The B&W really enhances the water droplets.

Love both, but prefer the color one

Very interesting comparison of the color and b&w - both have their strong points. Nice detail in each. Didn't know they spread that easily.

Lovely. I, too, prefer the living color but, well done with B&W.

I prefer the black and white one myself, great shot.

@tonygig @nanm @pyrrhula @milaniet @deu49097 @oopsadaisy Thanks for all of your comments. I prefer the color to the BW, but I can see that the BW brought out some of the details better. I wish these pink primrose did not spread so much. I have yellow primrose too, but the yellow ones do not spread and are even difficult to keep alive.

I like the water drops on the flower.
