I don't know when I got these, but my memory has always been that I called them Androsace Primuloides, but Wikipedia doesn't include that as a variety, so can someone ID it for me please?  Nor am I finding it in the SRGC seed lists I have.

The follow on question - which in reality is the primary reason for me doing this hunt - is how do I get seed from all these flowers?  You can see it is well established in this trough, but I have never been able to identify seeds.

Yes, this has been referred to in the past as Androsace primuloides, then changed to A. studiosorum, but I note that in the RBG Kew's 'Plants of the World online', the accepted name should be Androsace sarmentosa subspecies primuloides.

Happy days......!
