FIRST LOVE

Easy to grow
All of France loves and looks out for one of the first signs of spring, the primevère. In old French, primevère, from the Latin prima vera, was used to designate springtime. It was later supplanted by printemps, composed from the Latin primus tempus, i.e., first season.

Vocabulary
cultiver: to grow, to cultivate
d'entretien facile:  easy care
une primevère:  a primrose
