I think you were spot on with both of them Anne.

Anne, I may be way out here but I'm not entirely sure about P. clarkei for the second pic. The leaves should be a little rounder and the flowers quite a bit pinker, though that could just be the picture itself. Here's mine.
56635-0

56637-1

56639-2

Having said that, I can't think what else it could be. Am I right in seeing that you have several flowers on short stems, arranged on a single stem (i.e. umbels)? It CAN happen with P. clarkei but is very rare. Usually each flower emerges on a short, individual stem, from the rosette.

It is definitely in umbels. The fog is clearing a bit, and I seem to remember it is a hybrid. Girl's name??? AHA! Johanna? Something like that.

Anne,
There is a primula  called Johanna after Henrik Zetterland's daughter. I can't remember exactly what it looks like, gone to plant heaven a long time ago.

The only flowers I pull out of my gardens when they appear are a very prolific Viola from B&Q and Geranium pyrenaica

Anne what direction does your P. warschenewskiana face?

What a beautiful selection of Primulas Hans. I would find it very difficult if I had to choose between either of your best marginatas. The yellow under 2616 is a stunner also.

Those are very beautiful seedlings Hans.
Will be difficult to select the best, which means you have to throw the bad ones away.
But that's the life of a "Züchter", isn't it?


When we were driving through a Swiss village last week we saw on many places
'weedy' lawns.
Here some pictures
