Yes it is mark, it's a pity though it's not doing so well In it's native habitat.

Thankyou, John.
I get my seed here: http://www.barnhaven.com/primula-sieboldii/sieboldii-seeds
Probably best to wait now, until the new crop of seed comes in, and sow Dec/Jan.

I have also P.sieboldii ('Dancing Ladies' and 'Manakoora') from Barnhaven, sown couple of years ago in autumn, and I like them very much. That is a good source of fresh seeds and they have many sorts of P.sieboldii. Last autumn I sowed their Smooth Blue Forms (P.sieboldii), and they are germinating now. Can't wait to see how they will look next year.
These Barnhaven P.sieboldii flower later than my old P.sieboldii without cultivar name (pink), which is flowering now, Barnhavens primulas flower here in June. I wonder why that is..

I just visited the location where Primula mallophylla was rediscovered a couple of years ago... Two hours walking around in the rain, and not a single trace of any Primula to be seen. I see one of the Chinese plant dealers are selling it, makes you wonder how many plants are actually left in the wild  :P

Very nice, glad to see them in flower so soon! No P. kingii where I'm allowed, but P. valentiana is more or less the same I think, and you already got seeds of that  ;)
