Maggi, thank you for the notice of Eric Jarretts Primula allionii Elke Weiss.
There is only a small problem: The picture shows a beautiful plant, but is not Elke Weiss.
Attached are 2 Pictures of the true plant.

Oh dear, that's a shame - we must let Eric Jarret and Jon Evans know.
edit to add, Eric Jarrett has confirmed to Jon Evans that he's grown the plant for around ten years and the name may have got muddled.

Compare Steves P. frondosa with my picture of March 2020 in the northern hemisphere reply 81. I can,t remember if I bought the plants of P. farinosa or grew them from seed. It is early for farinosa. I,ve read descriptions of both species and wonder which mine is.

Ian, the AGS Encyclopedia says that P. frondosa and P. farinosa are very close, the main differences being the length of the sepal lobes relative to the length of the calyx (1/3 vs 1/2), and the shape of the sepal tips, which are acute in P. frondosa and obtuse in P. farinosa - my own plant definitely fits P. frondosa on both characters. It is difficult to be certain from your photo, but I think the sepal tips on your plant are also acute rather than obtuse. When I ordered seed I chose P. frondosa in preference to P. farinosa because it is supposedly much easier in cultivation.
