Tittypines and Plumrocks?

The beautiful Cow Slip (Primula veris) growing by our v. small pond with no water on account of the dry. I split the plant this winter into six and they are all doing well.

It goes under the delightful common names of Cuy lippe, herb peter, paigle, peggle, key flower, key of heaven, fairy cups, petty mulleins, crewel, buckles, palsywort, plumrocks and tittypines (according to the Wiki entry).
