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.

Ah, it's one I have (or at least my database tells me I have). I haven't seen it this year,  I'll have to search it out.

hi, 2 of the three whites I grow. First Eureka and then Avalanche. I have a soft spot for Avalanche as I bought it as a callow youth from Joe Elliott the year it was introduced. It actually had a purplish tint when it flowered and I took it back and he swapped it out. I've now got plants from two sources and sometimes a slight purple tinge appears but most of the time it's sort of cream.

Maybe  numbers were thin but agree there are some crackers there, Graeme - thanks for showing the photos.

Yes, thanks for posting them Graeme. I think under the circumstances there were some very good plants on the benches.

Going back to the whites and Mark's picture 'Snowflake' looks one to get hold of and I liked Lindum Ptarmigan in Graeme's picture too.

This plant came as "Primula hirsuta nivea alba", not a valid name.  Nameless, it's lovely nevertheless.
