Bless you for this. My yard was a riot of blue purple violets and early spring ranunculus with its waxy butter petals until the partner decided they were weeds.

This makes me so sad to hear. I hope you can carve out a little space to let them grow back ♥️

When I was a child my auntie took us for a walk in a primrose wood. I still remember its magic. And I still remember the delicious nectar we tasted from the flowers we picked from the thick carpets.

That sounds so special! My grandparents had a field of daisies and I remember it fondly. As a kid, it seemed endless, but it was only about 2×5 meters. Pure magic!
