cowslips
Springtime meadow blooms
Cowslips are wildflowers of the primrose family, bearing clusters of small, drooping yellow flowers on tall stems.
Native to Europe, they bloom in spring meadows and pastures: The hillside was dotted with cowslips.
The name, from Old English for "cow dung," reflects where the plant commonly grows.
