I was even more sorry I was unable to attend the Highland SRGC show in Nairn last Saturday when I  saw all the great primulas  for sale - see here : pic 056

Last Saturday was the NAPS Midlands section auricula show at Knowle. With no auriculas up to the mark I took a selection of this years batch of primula seedlings to try my luck. Delighted to have got best seedling in show with an open pollinated Northern Lights plant, with 2nd and 3rd in the same seedling class with plants of same breeding. Forth photo is of an Ossett snowball open pollinated seedling that was one of the 2nd prize open pairs. Next job names...

Out and about yesterday evening I discovered what looked like a pure white yellow centred P. vulgaris shining out from the dark of a hedge. I picked a flower and in daylight its a lovely palest cream. Are these common? Saw lots of pinks ones also

Some Japanese sieboldii cultivars (the droopy ones are meant to be like that)

As you might have guessed from the name Giles Buckland Wine has a Devon connection. It was introduced in 1965 by the then Champernowne Nurseries in Buckland Monochorum (close to The Garden House and Keith Wiley's Wildside Garden and Nursery). Source Peter Ward's very useful book "Primroses & Polyanthus A guide to the Species and Hybrids" Batsford 1997.

Nice sieboldii by the way I can't grow them.

Giles - nice sieboldii any of them named? mine are now in full flower and looking good, Now doing the usual count up of how many have turned up their toes over the winter. The Japanese ones seem to be less partial to our conditions here in south Wales than the UK bred ones.
