Primula whitei 'Arduaine'.  This is thought to be actually a hybrid between bhutanica (pin) and whitei and is sterile.  The true P. bhuatnica is now quite rare.

If this parentage is correct then its sterility seems inconsistent with lumping P. bhutanica under whitei, as the Flora of China does :-\
Beautiful though.

Primula marginata from my own open pollinated seed and flowering for the first time. Probably not worth naming as it's little different from a whole host of marginatas but something of a breakthrough for me as I usually get hybrids from my own seed.

Also another of my little Gerd Stopp raised seedlings this one he gives 1/07, looks as though a snail has had a go at it too. I'll see what it's like next year.

very pretty David. I find un named varieties and seedlings often have more charm. Marginata and allionii are such wonderful plants that the "ordinary ones" are beautiful too.

Allionii season is upon us. I did a mass repot last year with mixed results, maybe the summer was too hot for them.

Here are two, Primula allionii "Malcolm" and Primula allionii "Rosemary"

Nice start to the season Rudii.

Couple of mine today:-

Primula 'Stradbrook Lucy'. Very pale lilac and not easy to picture. Some List this as a marginata but it's quite small growing so possibly a hybrid.
Another of my Gerd Stopp raised seedlings. Gerd's label reads "very good colour" and it is but quite a bit darker than it looks in the picture. Provided I don't kill it should look really nice next year.

It will be good to see 'Karryann' in flower Mark.  Not one I know.

Primula 'Sonny Evans', one of the earliest P. allionii (?hybrid) to flower with me.

Very nice Cyril. It's one of David Philbey's raisings and I think it's an allionii cultivar. I shall be seeing him at Exeter in a couple of weeks time and if I can think on I'll check it out.
