Lovely set of allioniis Ebbie. Just in case there was a typo your last one is a seedling from Wharfedale Superb

[Jozef Lemmens]

Also from me a couple allionis:

Is Jahn XV a plant originating from Ludwig Jahn?

[ebbie]

Thanks David.
Jozef, that can be, but I don't know really. I bought 'Jahn XV' and also the 'Wharfedale Super Seedling' at Gerd Stopp in Chemnitz.

Three more Primula allionii clones.

Primula allionii 'Dunkel Blute'  (ex Gerd Stopp)



Primula allionii 'Joseph Collins'



Primula allionii 'Grosse Blute'  (ex Gerd Stopp)

[David Nicholson]

You grow some excellent allionii Jozef. I would be very interested to learn more about your growing regime please.

I am so impressed with all your allionii.  Michael thanks for the tips on fertilizing in the fall.  Next year I might have a few more flowers

[Jozef Lemmens]

A growing regime?....Hmm.…. Yes, I have one..... I smile when they are flowering.
In contradiction with Michael, I feed them only between May and August with a “Geranium” fertilizer. This is a kind of a tomato fertilizer but with a picture of flowers on the label.

    OK Jozef, I'll try that!

Here's a patch of self sown Primula hybrids nestling between and under Daphne bholua 'Jacqueline Postill' and Pieris 'Valley Valentine' (and I see the grass like leaves of an Iris growing through them that I thought I had lost). I count six different shades but my favourite is the one in the bottom right hand corner that my camera refuses to picture properly (syn. the photographer's not good enough!). This is a rich deep purple/magenta with a white-lined yellow eye. Things are getting a little congested under there and I shall need to split them up when flowering is over.

I love the happy mix of colors from the seedlings!

I wonder, does anyone know the lineage of this P. vulgaris?  It came to me from Cy Happy as "Pembrokeshire form".

Very attractive splash of colours David !

Thank you Luc, and the best of it is they didn't cost me a penny (cent for you Europeans   )
