It’s a beautiful day here in Rosedale, the sun is shining, there’s no wind and the boys are making cornflower blue bowls.⁠

Hope you are having a good one where ever you are.⁠

The Cowslip Bowl⁠ ⁠ Flowering around Easter th

The Cowslip Bowl⁠
⁠
Flowering around Easter the cowslip is one of the best known spring wildflowers.⁠
⁠
In Rosedale Abbey, they grow between the stones of our driveway, a nodding cluster of delicate cup shaped flowers sitting atop tall stalks, the leaves an array of delicate greens.⁠
⁠
A nostalgic symbol of flower rich pastures, once as common as a buttercup but depleted from the 1950s due to changes in land management, the cowslip is now regaining a foothold in roadside verges. ⁠
⁠
Highly valued since ancient times for its medicinal uses, the cowslip contains an oil known as ‘primula camphor’ that has the potential for use as an anti-inflammatory and antihistamine. Used to make wine, jam, tea and ointment, it is thought to be a good sedative and was used in the treatment of coughs and bronchitis. A tad topical... but don’t try this at home. ⁠
⁠
The folklore is rich, as is the origin of its name. In old English ‘cuslyppe’ translated to cowpat. Obviously, we prefer the more romantic adapted name, cowslip.⁠
⁠
We have the last few of the edition of 25 available.⁠
