Here is my first Auricula to flower in 2007-a yellow Self (a very light lemony yellow). This is the first year it has flowered and I grew it from open pollinated seed sown in September 2005. It may be because the flowers are immature at this stage but there seems to be a problem with the anthers so I shall have to see whether it improves-if it doesn't it's a candidate for the compost bin. This year I mean to be disciplined and only keep plants that are good enough to show-having said that they are "my babies" and I hate chucking them out
Maybe it is because of the very mild winter, without any appreciable amount of frost, but I seem to have quite a few plants that look as though they will have very short stems this year.

Do you know, I never looked that closely at the anthers of an auricula before, I've always been too busy looking at the pattern and sniffing for a scent! Now you make me wonder if that is a problem ? They do look a bit odd. Charming flower, though, soft colour and so much nicer as being 'one you made earlier'

I'm having the same problem that David was having earlier, a little red cross and right clicking to "show picture" doesn't work, so for now, I can't see his auriculas. Will look for your solution Maggi.

I used to have a big collection of Auriculas until root aphids got them. I must get some more from Susan Tindall. Maybe tomorrow.
Here are a couple flowering now for me. One cant be classed mine until it flowers again next year. I bought it at the bulb show. P. vulgaris 'Dawn Ansel' and one of my Cowslips that are now seeding in the garden

Mark, you must have a nice micro-climate in your garden my Cowslips are about a couple of weeks behind yours. I still don't like the Oak Leafs!

People mention me having a micro climate quite often. The garden is wide open to everything Mother Nature throws
This is a photo of a named P. vularis but the label is now under the plant. Below is a beauty, to me anyway, that I got in a garden centre

Mark, ugh!! (Each to their own, I say)
However, the vulgaris clone is super.

I'm with you Dave, I prefer Primulas to be simple and understated, but as you say each to his own.

The more orange flowers of Primula palinuri somehow make a better counterpoint to the calyces than the yellow forms. The echoing shapes of flower and calyx is just delightful. Lovely collection of flowers, Hans, thank you.

Lovely Primula Hans. I particularly like the white in the second series.
