Ah yes, now I see where I went wrong: Olsynium = Narcissus plus Primula. ;D :-[

I was fooled the  same way, Lesley... the  narcissus leaves are "topped" with the primula flowers which I took, because ofthe colour, to be a Olsynium!
 Now that Wolfgang explains it I see where we went wrong! :-[ ;D

Thanks Maggi , I think my brain is slowing down, finally remembered how to post pictures but got my typing wrong - will go out tomorrow and put a label on the plant.
Went in to see Ron Smart last week he was so happy with the card and thought it was lovely of all the members taking the time out to put there names down. He so wanted to go to the show, :( but he smiled when I told him I took a 1st with his pine that he gave me and I promised to look after it.

Robin thank you . I have been re planting the rest of my troughs but didn't want to disturb this one.
