Primrose
Early yellow flower
Primrose is a plant of the genus *Primula*, bearing pale yellow flowers in early spring.
The color primrose yellow derives from these blooms.
The primrose path is a life of ease and pleasure, often with the implication that such indulgence leads to ruin—from Shakespeare's use in *Hamlet*.
Primroses lined the garden border.
