I agree, Lesley.... I especially love P. flaccida... though why such a stunning flower should have to suffer under this name is a source of distress to me.

Well it used to be
P. nutans
of course but was changed. Maybe
flaccida
because the foliage is always soft and inclined to lie down, never erect or crisp. I love the downy feel of it, almost velvet.

It still IS P. nutans in my head, Lesley ....as you say, all that soft furriness and sweet scent.... what a smasher!

In mine too Maggi (recalcitrant old cows, aren't we?) but unfortunately I understand there is a TRUE
P.
nutans,
which, though it seems not common - I've never seen it - serves to confuse the issue, if we don't fall into line. But what's a little confusion after all. Look at what Gote and David are saying about Primula/Dodecatheon. Giles Reed should be deeply apologetic for introducing such a subject.

Where is Primula August? It appeared as a new topic in my Inbox but when I clicked on the link, I had a rude message it being missing or off limits to me. Well, really!!
