Look at those benches.... groaning under the weight of the plants. Super pix ,Giles, and all tekn just where the plants were on the bench?
 Excellent to see the auriculas... I can almost smell their fragrance and that wonderful "mealy"scent of the foliage....

I have just planted P. kialensis in a trough with a big lump of tufa in it. Going by the size of the plant above I'll have to lift it and give it more room

Primula 'Crusader' (reply 1) is really nice.
Is it P. allionii 'Crusader'
Does anyone know if it has any special requirements to firstly flourish and secondly to get it looking this good?
