Leena:
Kris, it must have been a great experience to see them in the wild! I love the group picture of P.nana.
Thank you for taking the pictures. :)

Gabriela:
Kris - nothing comes close to seeing them, or other species, growing in the wild. Thanks for sharing the pictures, they are very beautiful.

ruweiss:
Nice to see and read, that there are still some Primula friends in this forum.
I especially enjoyed  the pictures of the plants in the wild in spite of the fact,
that they are uncultvable in our climate.

Rudi,

I'm in zone 8b, and primulas do well for me, flowering from November to April.
I realize that the difference between -9.5C and -12.2C can be extreme for some plants.

I think that if you cover them with short lengths of row covers when hard frosts are expected you will be able to grow them. Try it with 1 or 2 plants before you spend a lot of money on them.

kris:
Thank you gardeners for your admiration of the pictures.
These primulas grow on the north side between boulders covered with  leaf litter. It is a very wet area with lots of rain. I read that the Primula denticulata also grows in the region but I think the season may be later. Finally I saw lots and lots of beautiful alpines growing along the road side but the time of the year I visited was early for the flowers to develop.
