Here are two pics of my favorite Primula species
1.  Primula marginata 'Casterino' found by Bernd Wetzel - which is reputed to be   one of  the best whites
2.  marginatas in a trough     
Gerd                   

Gerd, if ever you have an offset of your P. marginata 'Casterino' and you don't know what to do it, I could find a home for it! ;D

David, what's about this: an offset of 'Casterino' asap for one of your most beautiful 'Caerulea'?
Because my plant is still very small I have to force its growth a little bit before taking cuttings.

It is looking quite good Luc, but the Auriculas don't look as good as they did at this time last year, maybe I have neglected them a bit. Time will tell!

Nice Primula allionii 'Broadwell No. 1 Derek, I haven't seen one of those for a while. Double worth keeping too.

David,

I got a P. marginata 'Alba' last year from Ryal (Ruth now has the National Collection).  Foliage looks superb, but no flowers coming as yet.  Will it be anything like Casterino?  Just wondering.....

Any chance of a picture Chris, I haven't heard of P. marginata Alba. Are it's leaves very toothy and covered in meal?

Fancy that, Diane has just posted a photo of a white P. marginata in the AGS Cleveland Show thread!  8)See here:

Maggi - Sorry.  Its Ruth Hadden from Ryal Nursery, I should have explained myself better

David - I'll take a photo of the plant as it is tomorrow.  I think it has some toothing on the foliage, but I'll check again.

Yes, I saw Diane's pic of Primula marginata Alba at the Cleveland Show. As I said it does seem to be un-common (well to me anyway!) although there are umpteen hybrids with marginata in the 'mix'. Be nice to see your picture though Chris.

Hi David,  well, I got as good a picture as I could today in the greenhouse, which, as you know, is now in deep shade from the fallen tree limb.... first Primula marginata 'Alba' - as I said, it has not flowers as yet, but today when I inspected more closely, saw a flower raceme forming so I will have eventually, and will post for you later.  Second, P. 'Clarence Elliott'.  Both plants were obtained last autumn, so I am quite pleased to have any flowers at all!
