Forget Barnhaven then, contact Jellito's, ASAP. I especially want blues and whites, but as many as possible actually. They'll make lovely groundcovers under my trees instead of the masses and masses of black Ophiopagon that's there at present.
Bought a 'Paul's Scarlet Crataegus yesterday, found quite by chance in a local garden centre. Not only a gorgeous thing which I had to leave behind, but this small one (1 metre) is beautifully shaped as well. And 40% off the price as well, in a collection of left over oddments.

Thanks Cliff
Here are a few more pics . It looks like little butterflies in the cold frame and I love the dark corolla tube contrasting with the white petals

I have been on tour but was a few weeks too late - I found only very young developing seed.
Does anybody have an idea about the species?

That is difficult to say. Was your tour in the northeastern Kalkalpen? Then it could be
Primula clusiana
. A Primula that grows well in my garden but never blooms.

Ebbie,

Roma
Thanks for your post ! I have been repotting some plants today and came across a pot of 5 seedling primula. The label was almost unreadable but I could make out the word munro..and also something like involucrata. I had no idea what they are and where I got the seed from.
The plants are about 1" high with identical leaves to yours so I now know what to expect.

My "monroi" flowered today. Still not sure if it the same plant as Roma's although it looks similar. Surprisingly it has a beautiful scent .

I think it looks right Tom, although much later than

. I can't remember about the scent.

In the wild, Primula munroi is very variable. I've seen it with fairly stout stems and a brown fuzzy coating on the flower buds and I've also seen it with much flimsier stems and no brown coating. The colors I've seen ranged from white to dark pink and flower size was very varied, too.
Here are some pictures showing different color forms from the Himachal Pradesh.
