Pretty Gold Lace

I don't DO flowers usually, I prefer shrubs. There's something entrancing about the ever so many subtle shades of green and the gorgeous textures, shouting out to have sensitive fingertips run over them.

But sometimes there are exceptions.
I have a soft spot for Primulas.
Waaay back in 2004 I spent a summer taking Electron Microscope images of Primula Seeds. That's what kinda hooked me on microscopy (and gave this little flower a reprieve)

And no, I didn't buy it, I was at the garden centre buying yet another green shrub
;-)
