Eberhard,
of course crocus are better! ;D

Large flowering vulgaris hybrids usually are not my favourites. Nothing beats a pure wild P. vulgaris, primula yellow flower, in my eyes.
But I'm interested if this hybrid survives outside in my garden, if it ever sets seed and if the unusual striping transfers to other primula hybrids.
It is an fun experiment.

It looks like a Primula painted by Van Gogh! I too prefer the original but it looks fun.

I saw some zebra Primulas in a local B&Q yesterday so they are out and about here

Some allioniis

lacewing - still not sure about this one

a Brian Burrow selection - it only had a number when I got it back in the 90s

Apple Blossom - an old selection - I really like it

More big flowered Pr.vulgaris plants - not my taste, but somehow interesting.
Seen today at the open day plant sale of a nearby nusery.

Mark, I found another picture of P allionii 'Lacewing' on Eric Marsh's Site (Palustris) or is it actually another picture of your plant? It's a lovely little thing and one of Ken Wooster's raising I see.

My Primula 'Lindum Moonlight' still flowering away.

One of my all time favourite marginatas (I say that about all marginatas! ;D  )
