It is always nice to see flowers in the middle of the winter. Nice contrast between the bud and the flower. Congratulation on having seedlings blooming.

Happy new Year
Joakim

Joakim B:
I learned that the hybrid of Primula vulgaris is called Primula X polyantha and that it is the one supplied in the gardencenters.
I learned that by looking in one of the links in the link page. Yet another reason to loo at the page. Learning new things all the time.
Hope to see more flowering Primulas soon.
Kind regards
Joakim

Joakim B:
I did not thik it was a point starting a new thread since there is so much room in this one.
Here is the flowers of the previously shown Primula obconica?
It is hairy but those hairs are not seen in the picture.
The slugs is a bigger problem than the weather.

Kind regards
Joakim

Just noticed this thread, must have been on holiday when you ask for an ID for your primula. It looks like it could be Primula whitei (bhutanica). If it is a lovely shade of blue it will be, one of the first to flower in the spring. Cluny gardens is famous for it, did you get there at the disscusion weekend? It is really beautiful and worth making the effort to keep it going. It likes a nice cool shady spot with lots of leaf mould and is best split after a few years, at this time of the year there are often offsets for the picking. It will come from leaf cuttings, but that is a slow process. If it turns out to be yellow it is probabally aureata, they used to be produced by micro prop. and didn't last many years, don't know if there are so many about now.

Susan, when you said "It is really beautiful and worth making the effort to keep it going, " I thought you were speaking about Cluny...which I know you will agree, certainly IS really beautiful and worth making the effort to keep it going!! I don't doubt that Wendy and John Mattingley think so too!!
This is Cluny House Garden, see here: http://www.perthshire.co.uk/index.asp?pg=130
Primulas are just one of their specialities!
