Golly David, that's a real beauty. Will you plant it again so that the stems are largely buried? You'd probably get side buds coming through if you do.

Thanks Lesley and Matt.

Lesley it is one of batch of plants I took over late last year from grower who had passed away. He had been ill for some time and many of the plants hadn't been re-potted for more than two years. I thought I might lose this one so apart from re-potting it didn't do anything with it. I think I shall take off all the straggly growth when it has finished flowering and treat them as cuttings.

Another of my straggly ones that need sorting for cuttings. This, if it's true, is quite an old marginata hybrid.

A few more from the greenhouse.

Primula 'Miniera' This is one of two clones I have and the other one, which is in bud, looks as though it's going to be darker.

Primula 'Lindum Harbinger'  I do like yellow Primulas.

Thanks Yann.

A smattering of self sown Primroses waiting for me to plant them out round the garden.

A couple of days ago (11th March) I posted pics of one of my two plants of Primula 'Miniera' and said I had a darker form in bud, well here it is. I bought this from Susan Tindall and Susan described it as the true form.

Here's my Primula marginata 'Napolean'. Again it is a plant I took over from a grower who had passed away and had been short of TLC and is a bit straggly. I shall probably use it for cuttings later.
