AGS Kent Spring Show at Rainham - Sat 16th March

It was once again a splendid show.

Is there anyone who knows something more about Primula allionii ‘Tamara’ (and ‘Emily Jane’) (origin)?
A nursery who is selling this plant or is there anyone interested in exchanging?

I am amazed once again by how much I managed to miss! I notice there was no close up of the 'fragrant' Scoliopsis. Nigel Fuller's Dionysia seedlings do look very special, and when I asked Lee Martin how old Nigel's D. curviflora is likely to be, he thought around 15 years or more - that is a very remarkable feat of cultivation.

Helpful details from Jon Evans  ( and also, see the AGS website - including pix  of another great Trillium  nivale and a fresh pic from Graham Nicholls!!)) http://www.alpinegardensociety.net/discussion/atshows//KENT+SHOW+th+MARCH+/17018/?page=3   and from Harlow show : http://www.alpinegardensociety.net/discussion/atshows//Early+Spring+Show+Harlow+nd+March+/17074/?page=4

P. allionii 'Tamara 'was raised by Nigel Fuller (- possibly named for his grand-daughter) and is probably only available from him - it hasn't got around much, I'm told
P. allionii 'Emily Jane' was raised by David Philbey ( David is Jon Evans' stepfather and was named for Jon's  neice) and is now grown by several of the exhibitors, but it may not be available
commercially.
