That worked :D

Here are a couple more:
No 1: Primula crassifolia grown from Holubec-seeds.
No 2: Primula euprepes SDR 6023. This plant was bought as Primula sp, and it was a big surprise to see the buds open and the black flower emerging!
No 3: Same plant a week later. What a beauty!

WOW! I love the P. euprepes! I've never seen it before--and if you can coax seed from it, I'd love to be on the list...

Viggo,

The Primula euprepes SDR 6023 is absolutely amazing.

Primula minima growing on limestone

Primula minima looks wonderful, I once spent £2 on a pack of seed from one of these collecting trips but it never germinated.  Ah me.

Moving on from the sublime. P. Viallii with fasciation.

Title: Re: Primula June 2009
Post by: Lesley Cox on June 21, 2009, 11:19:32 PM

To the ridiculous. :)

I quite often find fasciated stems of this species; thick, flattened double stems and chunky, wide flower heads.

Hello!
Sorry for not responding and updating, but I have been busy at work and the (northen) wind has been weary strong this spring/summer. But here are some images from the Artic-Alpine Botanical garden in Tromsø earlier this month.

First is Primula palmata, it's a not to often seen species and it can bee a little bit shy in flower, but when it flower it's a beauty
The second image is of a really new plant with us, it's Primula longipetiolata, a really beautiful species!

Viggo,

Both of them are beautiful.  I love the leaves on your palmata.

Post by: maggiepie on June 27, 2009, 12:58:44 PM

Viggo, I really like Primula longipetiolata, the colour is wonderful, the palmata leaves almost looks like a geranium.

Lovely Primulas Viggo.

Beautiful plants both. The foliage is special isn't it, on both species. That lovely long reddish stripe and the geranium-like leaves too. Where have these species been all my life? They are both entirely new to me.
