Primula 2013

[Leena]

The 'Sangoguko' came from http://www.vasteplant.be/
Yes blue ones exist. This is my best one - bluer on the back of the petals.

Really beautiful plant.
I have 'Manakoora' from Barnhaven starting to flower now for the first time, it is nice, but can't compare to
'Sangoguko'.

Does anyone know what Primula this is? (There is P.sieboldii in the middle picture beside it)
I had bought the seeds from Gothenburg Botanical Garden as Primula aurantiaca, but all the descriptions  don't match.
It is the very first candelabra primula to flower here, P.japonica, P.beesiana and P. x bullesiana come about two weeks later.
The buds and top of flower stems are mealy, and the mid rib of the leaf is green.

Hi Leena,

It looks like a Primula chungensis.  They are flowering now in Vermont.

Thank you Sippa.

Primula deflexa
****Not what it's meant to be
more sieboldii's (is there a cure?)

****Not what it's meant to be

Same here.  I got it from the exchange several years ago as P. tanneri, which obviously it's not.

Handsome deflexa too, somewhat taller and darker than mine.

That they do, Giles  Although Primula japonica is nice as a ground cover too.

Peter, you going international?? 

[deplantspecialist]

Hoi Wim, yes Maggi told me to do so. Hahaha

Could the *****not deflexa possibly be muscarioides? Mine has died but left masses of seed. (Anyone want some? send postal address.)

For now I'm waiting for the Barnhaven seedlist as I need to replace ALL my sieboldiis, drought sufferers in my previous garden but here they should make super spreading mats - if I clear out the ivy seedlings.

Lesley,
This is where Jelitto's sieboldii seed comes from.
