A lot will depend on the foliage Derek. Can you show us that please?
Lesley sorry only just seen your post this photo shows the leaves, Derek

Derek,

I was looking through the Primulaworld index and found P. handeliana.  It looks like a dead ringer for your curious yellow.  Check it out.

This one?  ( Derek's primula question from earlier in  the month)

A wild collected Primula auricula (Totes Gebirge, 2000m). This Primula changed the colour after 10 years! Any idea?
Hans Hoeller passed away, after a long illness, on 5th November 2010. His posts remain as a memory of him.

The only things I can think of that might lead to a colour change, (apart from mutation), would be: Virus; Temperature; pH; Mineral Nutrition;
Light Intensity. I can't believe that any of them would be likely though, Hans. It's a mystery  8)
