The free screensaver, The Oxlip, was created by RateMyScreensaver.com and contains 14 high resolution images of the flowering plant, the oxlip. Primula elatior, the oxlip, is a flowering plant in the genus Primula, found in damp woods and meadows throughout Europe as far north as southern Sweden. In the Britis Isles, it is found only in the east, and mainly in East Anglia.

It is a low growing herbaceous perennial plant with a rosette of leaves 5-15 cm long and 2-6 cm broad. The deep yellow flowers are produced in the spring between April and May; they are in clusters of 10-30 together on a single stem 10-30 cm tall, each flower 9-15 mm broad.

It may be confused with the closely related Primula veris (cowslip) which has a similar general appearance although the oxlip has larger, pale yellow flowers more like a primrose, and a corolla tube without folds. - wiki
