Marianne,
Lovely to see that the seed I supplied to the seed exchange of Primula bracteata dubernardiana doing so well! I had one flower in January, before the cold spell, and three plants are now flowering; many more with buds on too.

Isn't it grand to be able to see and share these plant experiences in this way?  A reward for the kind donors to see how their seed is growing and being appreciated thousands of miles away  8)

Peter, I am so glad you came forward as the donor of the seed for the P. bracteata.  As a grower it is very nice to be able to share when things work out well.  The little plant has more buds to come.  I feel very fortunate to have gotten some of the seed, and hope it will survive our climate.
