Cowichan is the region I live in Bjs. Have you seen the promo video?

It is interesting to learn that they are primroses named
for this region. Had to google why.

"Cowichan" means “The Warm Land’’ in local indigenous language.

I have watched the video looks lovely, had no idea how the primrose name originated but did know it came originally from
America being one of the Barnhaven Cowichan Primroses
they date back to the early 20th century in Oregan. There is an interesting read on it below.
