Well, all examples are pin-eyed, so that's a good start!  The two show plants  look to have a fuller flower, don't you think?  Both Zdenek's and  Hans' are  more  "starry" flowers ?  Zdenek's is a much more red shade I think - tough with  photos though, isn't it?

I'm hopeless at colour comparisons Maggi but I think Zdenek's is a much redder red (if you see what I mean!). George's pictures are to me more towards a pinky/magenta and Hans' plant more pink. Hans' plant too shows it's marginata genes very strongly.

I've said before that it's been a poor Primula season. Some of them have thrown a few flowers and I'm grateful for those but I was expecting many more. Still, at least these didn't succumb to botrytis.

Primula 'Joan Hughes'  (allionii x P. 'Linda Pope' )
P. allionii 'Marjorie Wooster'
P. a. 'Hartside No. 12'
P. a. 'Hartside No. 6'
P. 'Lindum Malcolm's Mate'

Thanks Maggi, John and Graeme, yes 'Mylene' is a beautiful plant. I have a soft spot for the yellows as well so 'Delight' would run second for me.

Really beautiful. They aren't that spectacular growing in the garden here, small flowers and a bit disappointing.  They would probably like less severe conditions.

hi, it's Eureka. I'll put up some individual shots over the next few days.

It's out early this year, usually it's the last one out of the whites I have.
