Hans, that really is a stunner, I too have never heard before of a double Primula villosa. Were there other Primulas in the vicinity when you collected the seeds?

David, I have only seen a lot of villosa, some glutinosa and minima and one rock with P. clusiana (Tauern, 2000m). But there is no lime! I think Primula auricula and clusiana are growing at the other side (northern) of the wide valley. But I have seen such plants in Ralf Würdig's collection too, who only grew true plants (cuttings or from wild collected seed).

Another little Primula from the greenhouse today-Primula Wharfedale Ling. There is an Auricula with the suffix 'Ling' that got its name by mistake in a nursery, the original grower had labelled it 'Seedling' but the label got broken and all that could be seen was 'Ling'-or so the story goes. Wonder if the same happened with this one?

David, this remembers me of better times when I was using my glasshouses for alpines.
In the old forum it flowered with me on 23rd ? March 2005
I found this one of the best Wharfedale I had seen.
Here is the picture.
Luit van Delft, right in the heart of the beautiful flowerbulb district, Noordwijkerhout, Holland.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Gerd: is the P. marginata a named form please?

Luit: yes Wharfedale Ling is a good little plant. I have a bigger one (though not as big as your plant) but not  as far advanced as the smaller one.

I'm afraid, you have more than I, David.       :( :(

David,
No, it isn't - just marginata.

Fingers were moving faster than brain Luit ;D It does look bluer doesn't it but I used a different camera setting for each picture so that must have done it.

I find that often a slight difference in angle of shot etc can give a different automatic setting result on the camera.... almost identical pictures can vary decidedly in colour, particularly with blue/purples.  I always take a few shots of anything to help compensate for this, as it never shows up as clearly on the LCD on the camera as it does on the PC.

And a lovely Primula by the way!!
Cheers.

Nothing really spectacular, just accompanying my crocus blossom - primula vulgaris in my lawn.
I like this early, pale yellow, late winter/spring flower.
Spreading easily through seed and with the help of ants.
