Thanks David,
We are actually in a lovely B&B in Bridgwater ... breaking the journey and heading for Hestercombe in the morning before meeting up with you all for the lecture at Ashburton. See you tomorrow.

Very nice Helen. Primula 'Aire Mist is a cross made by a breeder called Peter Lister some years ago now using a white form of P.allionii crossed with P. auricula 'Blairside Yellow'. A plant called 'Aire Waves' is from the same cross if you want the pair.
many thanks David for the information.  I can see the auricula genes in the leaves.

Giles,
lovely clumps of primulas. They certainly make a great show!
Your P. elatior is quite enhanced compared to mine. It is one of my favourite native primulas.
And thanks - have now a name for my 'Wanda' :)

Lovely selection, Giles.  The few outdoor primulas daring to open buds here have been well damaged by the weather.

Great show Giles. I think the first image from the forumist Turkish travels series (the deep purple/mauve one) is an absolute stormer.

Lovely Barnhaven primulas - just sown my first ones, hopefully I will have something similar in a couple of years
