Thanks Steve, I,ll need a magnifying glass. Latin was not a language in our school.

The sepal lobes on my plant are acute. The length of the sepal lobes seem to be about half as long as the calyx. It was the flowering time which made me wonder which species I had. I,ve seen P. farinosa in the wild twice, flowering in late May and early June at another location. My plant seems more robust than P. farinosa.

Can anyone  help a  Danish member  with the  name  of this Primula allionii cultivar?

Thanks, Rudi, I think you have  it - many  thanks!

Primula sieboldii 'Fuji Shishi'. I seem to have accidentally developed a collection of sieboldii after admiring the plants at the East Anglian show. This one is the first to flower this season.

Self sown Auricula seedling in the greenhouse.  The parent plant is an unnamed Rumbling Bridge hybrid with farinose leaves and pale greeny yellow flowers.  I collected a few seedlings from neighbouring pots (no other primulas near) and all the offspring have had blue or mauve flowers.

I love P.sieboldii, and especially the blue ones are my favourites, though I have only one seed-grown blue P.sieboldii. It is my treasure.

Another blue-ish Primula sieboldii 'Kiraboshi', although my camera is recording it as more blue than my eyes see it - it has a magenta tint in real life.

Primula kisoana spreads in my garden.  The white form is a pin, and both pin and thrums show up in the pink form.  Here is a nice dark pink form.


Here is an ordinary polyanthus hybrid that I like a lot.  From the late Pat Bender's garden.

So many flowers, and pretty pastel shade!
