Chance seedlings found at nursery?
« on: April 18, 2018, 03:32:10 PM »
Hi there I found a few chance seedlings in the Alpine house a couple of years ago and they are flowering now?
The first is perhaps primula ruprechtii or a yellow amoena??
The second is Olsynium junceum??
The third is an Olsynium??

Can any one help

That Primula is beautiful the Olsynium's aren't bad either.

You can.t see the leaves of the primula but they does look a bit like Pr. Amoena leaves but not quite right (almost primrose like) I have been hand pollinating it recently so hope I will get some seed and as it is isolated hopefully it will come true. There were a few other seedlings but they were a poor purplish yellow/brown which I didn't keep. Weird thing is I didn't have anything resembling the primula in the alpine house at all so no idea where it came from? I do have olsyinium junceum, narcissiflorum and filifolium so could perhaps be a hybrid. but I have never had one with such dark purple markings before. Whatever it is I have hand pollinated it and hope to get seed and multiply it in the future.

Thanks
