I have fond memories of cowslips from my childhood in County Dublin, when the fields near my home were carpeted in yellow during May, and we used to put bunches of them in jam-jars. In recent years they have become very rare, due to over-picking and changing agricultural practices. I was delighted to see a field full of them once again, in the Aughris peninsula in Cleggan, where I took these photographs. they also grow wild on Omey Island nearby.
