After our Madison version of the international Women's March on Saturday, I met up with my husband who'd been photographing while I was marching. Given the size of the crowd, my friends and I never managed to march; mostly we were standing still or strolling. I think Mark moved around a lot more taking pictures. We were both tired and ready to crash by the time the afternoon was winding down. We stopped at the market to get something for dinner as our cupboard was bare.
While Mark grabbed some beer (this is Wisconsin!), I grabbed this bright pink primrose. I couldn't resist adding such upbeat color to the house. And primroses always say "Spring" to me; a word I need to hear in January.
But mostly I couldn't resist this floral reminded of a historic day. I usually take off that metallic paper they wrap around the container and set it inside a nice cachepot of my own. But this time the paper was pink, so on it stays. Trying to maintain a positive spirit after an amazing event.
I didn't grow them, but I am offering these primroses as my contribution to In a Vase on Monday with Cathy at Rambling in the Garden. Stop back here tomorrow to see a few more pink pictures!
Such sweet blooms. Pink is perfect for this day or anytime really.

It was an amazing worldwide event and I am proud of the love and positive vibe demonstrated throughout the world. Hopefully, the message was received! ;)
I'm glad you shared your pink primrose and LOVE signs, very apropos. That species of primrose was the first plant I ever bought on a wintry day in Maine (I must have been 15, I think) so seeing it brings fond memories!

I went pink too! Kudos to you for marching in what I'm sure was more difficult weather than we faced in Los Angeles - we were lucky to have a one-day break in the rain.
