Luit, I keep trying, some times I win, some times I loose. I had hoped to have something worth entering in the AGS South West Show in Exeter on 28 March but the allionii types will be past their best by then and it looks as though my marginatas will be later this year.

I wish you would all stop showing these P. allionii forms. They bring on terrible feelings of unrequited love and hopeless envy, not at all good for my health. We don't have them and can't get them. :'(

But I LOVE P. atrodentata and it just happens that I have recently sown some seed of that :) from a kindly UK gentleman.

I like your primula, Simon. Nice big flowers! My sibthorpii is pale and small by comparison.
My offerings for today:
P. elatior meyeri
P. knuthiana
P. x miniera
P. scapigera (it only had 1 flower!)

Lovely Michael, I particularly like your Hybrid 7 with the very dark pink lacing on the petals.

Given the number of plants you have, Michael, I can certainly believe that space is at a premium at your place!
