In IRG 17 of 2011, there was a piece from ZZ about the English Primula specialist, David Philbey -
you may be interested to see more of David's primulas and glasshouse display, shown by his step-son, the photographer, Jon Evans, in the AGS website :

First flowering of Primula aureata from  SRGC seed sown in January 2010 which germinated in March 2011. I didn't think petiolarid primulas germinated from stored seed but three did.
Seed heads of some primulas can look as good as the flowers
Primula calderiana
Primula auricula Rumbling Bridge strain

Hi all,

Look what I found blooming in my greenhouse when I came back from the Czech Republic.  A double auricula grown from the double specialist Derek Salt's seed.  I love the color and the farina on the petals.  It looks like a chocolate truffle.

Oh dear, I am developing a severe  case of sieboldii envy......

[Graham Catlow]

I thought this would be the best place for advice.

My primulas are dying!
It looks as though someone has sprayed them with weed killer.
Some are up to 3m from the others.
There is Primula wanda 'hose in hose', elatior, and a couple of Barnhaven cowichans (I think).

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on please?

[Susan Band]

have you dug one up to have a look, might be vine weevil grubs 
Was it the foliage very new, then it could be frost damage but any under bushes should have escaped the slight frost a couple of nights ago
Rule out these possibilities first
