Earlier in this thread (reply 52 of 6 March) I posted a pic of one of my plants I have labelled as Primula 'Joan Hughes' but I also have a much darker plant also labelled as P. 'Joan Hughes and both are pictured here. In the late Mary Robinson's book "Primulas: The Complete Guide"-Crowood Press 1994 she says:

"A hybrid between Primula allionii and P. 'Linda Pope' (raised by Jack Drake). Tight rosettes of leaves and distinctive heads of magenta pink flowers on short stems......"

My first plant is possibly nearer to the flower colour that Mary Robinson described. Is anyone else growing this plant please?

Michael you've got me thinking now. Maybe I should get both my plants out of the greenhouse so that I can see them both in the same light.

Well, don't throw stones at me, but I'm gonna show you a Primula.
Bought on March 7th, as a gift for mom (we have a holiday on the 8th when women get ... flowers).
I picked this one from a whole bunch of primulas, of all colors (I am taking these are the "common" ones, easily grown and cared for).
I thought the colors were... shall we say, striking?

Nice Michael. Are they open pollinated or do you have parentage details?

They look lovely Michael.  The second one isn't too far from the one that won at Kendal last Saturday.

Primula allionii is at its best in the Alpine House, Primula palinuri is always
the first species of the Auricula Section flowering in my garden.

Very nice Rudi.

Some more of my Gerd Stopp raised seedlings. Excuse the quality of the pics, I'm experimenting ::)  Also Primula vulgaris ssp sibthorpii from the garden.
