Primulas 2011.

I like the Barnhaven primroses, I've grown a lot, but not seen them flower at this time of year on such a scale. Mine never look so neat and tidy.

They do alot better if you can keep the leaves dry - mine went undercover in November, no heat, keep ventilated night and day.

Mine went into the garden at the start of September and have been wet and cold ever since. Obviously being under cover would be a lot better, but I plant them out to avoid vine weevil problems.

Anyway this is one that caught my eye a couple of weeks ago:

Having posted it, I note it has six petals, I think five is more common.

Some 1st generation juliae hybrids

Those look very nice Giles and quite close to the species. It would be good to puddle about within that little group and perhaps get other shades while keeping the very small, compact habit.
