.... 23 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 A fun day: Cowslip Sunday, Lambley, Nottinghamshire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Funny you should mention Cowslips Stu. As I drove out to Newark last Wednesday I went via Southwell, as I climbed the little hill between the Halloughton turn and Brakenhurst college the left hand bank of the road was covered in them ! I've never seen so many in one place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 There do seem to be a lot of them this year. Maybe it's the weather conditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I remember on one of our 'Rambles' into the country side as a kid my Mum becoming all excited 'cause she saw a couple of them , It may have been out Oxton way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 'Cowslip Sunday', what a delightful name for an event. Hi Stu, such a lovely, little picture of bright cowslips that you have presented. Some years back this wild flower was in danger of becoming extinct; recently I've noticed pots of them for sale in the Garden Centres and Supermarkets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OLDACE 196 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Cowslips used to grow in abundance on the grassy bank at the top of Ilkeston Road. I wonder if they are still there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carltongal 101 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 i bought some from the market last week and they are growing really well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 There's a really nice display of them on the grass verge outside The Lambley restaurant (formerly the Nag's Head) I did some field work to see if there were any in the Woodlark...just in the interests of research. I can report there were some growing in pots in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
