The orange cowslip is featured in the Hot Garden in Bristol University Bot. Garden and I have divided them there and have bought one and now have eight plants in the alpine trough I planted it in. It has its proper latinised botanical name on the label but I have lost mine. I am visiting next week to pick up my tickets for the Monty Don Lecture so will have a look. It must be common enough in some parts of the country or Europe to have earned its name.
At last I have been able to get the pics I promised from the Univ. of Bristol Botanic garden. They have two plantings of it with their official label on, so, as I thought this is a naturally occurring native form. Oh dear there is a fault on the site so the pics will have to wait till it is accepting pics again, but I do have them now.

Trouble is, everything I learn seems to push something else out of my head

They're really pretty!
A name would be interesting - glad I started this thread! Another thing to try to remember though!
I seem to remember it had the form added to Primula veris (in Latin) but will find out for sure next week.
Cheers and have a nice evening Marion!
