I know that a few adventitious flowers on Primulas at this time of year is normal but this is ridiculous!

Nice is the Lindum Heavenly that blue?

I'm hopeless with colours but I think so. Looks around the same on last year's pic.

Nice Prims David .

Here's my contribution --pic taken today .
Primula reidii var williamsii looking the best it ever has. Repotted at the end of last season and placed under the cover for the winter I also gave it a bit of a feed when it started to recommence growth. 5 flowering stalks of heavenly strong scent,  :P .I keep on lifting the pot for a sniff as I pass by   ;D.....

Really nice that Dave. One of these days I'm going to have a go at one of those, probably die a thousand deaths in my climate though!

My P. reidii (white) has 5 stems this year and one is fasciated (spelling?), with a whole flower head present but no petals. I mean that the ovaries are there and also the pistils and stamens which means that it is, in effect both pin and thrum headed which means I can easily use it to pollinate the other small white plants and maybe try the blue as well. I've also self-pollinated it, in hope. When I used to grow many of both whites and blues, originally from Jack Drake seed, I always had lots of seed without any effort on my part at all.
