I received a piece of this plant from a friend a long time ago. It does well but only when  kept inside during spells of frosty weather -seeds are built occassionally.

This unknown primula has established itself under some shrubs here. Similar to Primula vulgaris but bigger and darker. Any guesses?

I think you'll have to settle for a form of Primula vulgaris Ralph. Do you get P. elatior (Oxlip) in your area, if you do this might have some blood in it? All i all they are promiscuous little things.

It's the start of a parade of candelabra primulas.  Primula japonica is always the first (and seeds prolifically).  Primula cockburniana has vanished, but its genes live on in a hybrid.

Claire, is that P. japonica a named one? Do you grow one of about that color called 'Glowing Embers'?

None of my P. japonica plants are named ones.  They started years ago from various seed exchanges and have mixed themselves quite readily.  I do wish I could get 'Postford's White' back, but so far, seed exchange seeds have let me down.

Do I assume that Dodecatheon is still in Primula?

I've grown the following from seed but I wonder if the names are correct? If anyone can help please it would be much appreciated.

Dodecatheon pulchellum

David, your Dodecatheon pulchellum is certainly more robust than the ones growing wild here.  I'm not sure, but ours may be D. pulchellum pulchellum.  The species native to this ranch stays short, doesn't have such large leaves, and usually a maximum of 4 or 5 flowers per stem.  But the rainfall is only an average of 14" per year.

Primula forrestii, grown from 2009-2010 SRGC seed exchange.  Originally, I thought I had a single plant in the pot, but this year, with 3 flowering stems, I discovered that two are pins and one is a thrum.  Hopefully there will be seeds, thanks to hand pollination.

Thanks for responding Sally. After further research I'm now thinking that the plant I had labelled as Dodecatheon frigidum is more likely to be D. meadia. The D. pulchellum is quite sturdy and I wonder if the seed was perhaps from the form 'Red Wings'?
