New Month, new page! Maggi

The next Primulas. The nameless Primulas are my own hybrids (hirsuta, villosa, auricula). All Primulas are grown from (my own) seed.

The second run

David Nicholson:
Lovely plants Hans. Do you make specific crosses or let the bees do the work?

David Nicholson:
Here are pictures of:-

 a young plant of Primula allionii "Nightingale" which I thought I had lost back in the dim and dank days of November but since then it has improved a lot.

the double Auricula "Lincoln Sparkler" which was bred by Derek Salt in Lincolnshire. Derek concentrates on breeding Doubles and two years ago was kind enough to give me a couple. Lincoln Sparkler seems to suit my "cultivation techniques"! wheras the other one "Fred Booley" seems to be a bit timid in flowering for me.

 

SueG:
Hi David
Is Lincoln Sparkler scented? I used to have something similar which had a stunning scent. I got a double dark purple auricula at the Hexham show from Timpany Nursery - will take it's pic when it opens.
