Just one quick question I used to have a Marginata that had a yellow farina rather than the white - I lost it but cannot remember which one it was - any ideas

The full epithet for 'Gecko' is 'Lindum Gecko' bred by Martin and Dreena Thompson in Lincoln ("Lindum" was the Roman [latin] name for Lincoln) .I can only find details of the following as having yellow(ish) farina but there may well be others:-Primula marginata 'Barbara Clough' I've lost mine this year but Susan Tindall at Timpany Nursery stocks it.P. m. 'Gold Leaf' I haven't found any details of stockists.P. m. 'Gold Plate' if you do a Forum Search you will find some details of this one.
Ah Graeme, look on the bright side - better a lost label than a lost/dead plant!

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?
