Just a quick question, doing a re-read and I'm in Changes. Harry and Bob are in the Nevernever across from his apartment. What was the significance of the flowers being Primrose? I assume that it in someway identifies Lea, but don't remember seeing that connection elsewhere. Anyone else know?

Being "led down" or "going down" the primrose path (or the "garden path") is a colloquialism for foolishly wandering into (or being led into) danger/destruction, with the first steps being pleasant/attractive.
It has connotations of "should know better".
