Yes David,I only grow hybs. Some people only grow species, but I dabble pollen on everything and only grow hybs. I is more exciting as you never know what you might get, and the plants are more vigorous. Probably a age thing. :)

The P. fedtschenkoi is a super thing and to have a white in the middle is a great bonus. What a beautiful species it is.

Giles the 'Wisley Red' is a little beauty. It looks like maybe a hybrid between juliae and 'Wanda?' do you know anything of its history?

The Primula season has started in my garden.
This one is very denticulata-ish. Maybe it is but I think it is seed from one of Chadwell's allocations.
The new buds are very farinose. However, the slugs find the newly opened flowers irresistible  >:(

Giles
What are the defining characteristics of your 'Taigetos'? It doesn't look that different to a form that crops up in my garden from time to time and I am sure my predecessors here didn't buy in special plants.

Hello,
Wisley Red is a hybrid with some juliae parentage that has been around since the 60's I gather.
I got the 'Taigetos' from Lady Skelmersdale. It's a wild collection from Greece. It flowers earlier than some of my other white primroses, such as 'Gigha' by about 2 weeks. Otherwise, just a white primrose.

(also available in blue, Barnhaven Blues seedling)

Love those Barnhaven primulas, Giles.  I haven't had seed from them for a while - too difficult to decide what to order and too difficult to cope with the number which germinate.

Roma, I've been looking for 'Lismore Yellow' for a few years now with no success. If you get a spare offset please I'll do a swop with you.

Lovely little hybrids Rudi, you do grow them well.
