Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

Not a criticism, nice photograph...but invariably, most of the flower pictures I see posted here are composed with the bloom towards the left side of the frame. Is that a sort of right/left kind of thing?

Looks to me to be a Primula veris (cowslip, common cowslip cowslip primrose; syn. Primula officinalis Hill) a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the primrose family Primulaceae.

Well spotted..........

Lovely photo of a lovely garden flower - will agree with Kerrowdown's identification.

Interesting - I had not noticed that, but it seems you are correct. I tend to put flowers right in the middle, against all rules of composition...

So I got it right? that'll be the only thing I did on that day... according to others that is.

I don't know, but I had to do it like this to cut away a disturbing black stem to the left.
