That's a great site for auriculas Maggi, and I see they do SEED! Of all the plants they list, the only name I recognise as being available in NZ, is `Rabley Heath' but the picture showed a quite different plant from what is sold here. They also export overseas (which I take to be more than just the EU). I wonder if they'd like to go through the process of nursery inspections, phytos, etc etc that our MAF requires. I also wonder where the contents of my bank account went.

Hans,
I recognized it (and it is very beautiful too even blossom seem to have suffered from rainfall) but my preference I always give to the wild origin!

A picture of my young plant of Primula "Clarence Elliott"-not as good as Diane Clement's version posted a couple of weeks ago,but if I keep it through the Summer watch this space next year.

Also pictured is a Primula marginata grown from seed and flowering for the first time this year.

I'm not sure if my Clarence Eloitt is correct. I grow mine outside in a trough. The flowers stand just 2"/5cm

I don't think it is Mark, even allowing for the light the colour is wrong. Apart from it being a marginata hybrid I haven't a clue as to what it could be. Have a look at http://www.users.totalise.co.uk/~viv.pugh/  you may see something similar.

Just after we moved to Devon, nearly 20 years ago, I bought a couple of "wild Devon primroses" and planted them in the back garden. The originals have long gone to the compost heap in the sky but I have never had to buy another primrose thanks to those two plants and the bees. Parts of my garden are covered with self sown plants of a multiplicity of shades. Promiscuous little beggers are Primula vulgaris.

David, impressive pictures.

Today I discovered a color mix of primroses in a garden nobody takes care.
The lawn is full of moss-grown and wild strawberries.

Armin, some of those look well worth digging up and growing on in your garden!

David,
I had immediately this idea when I discovered it. I went to the house nearby, rang a bell but nobody opened. I'll try again later this week to get permission to dig a few out.

There are still hundreds of primrose still in buds and double quantity seedlings.
It is worth to visit the meadow again when more flowers are open.
Maybe I find more variations.
