Nice Primulas
In the botanical garden of Ajuda Lisbon, Portugal I saw some primulas and was about to tell my son that these are the same as the Swedish ones (Primula veris) but looking at the tag told me differently. I can see some difference but would never have imagined it to come from so far away.
It is Primula reticulata and is from Nepal as seen from the tag.
I add the tag and also the fact that it was a lot of plants so it should not be a stray plant that ended up there some how.
They might be wrong so please let me know if it is wrong.
All the best
Joakim

Primula Tinney's Moonlight x edgeworthii, a cross I made many years ago. Both original parents died soon after but this is vigorous & is in the open garden. (Slugs love to eat the flowers.)

It looks very like P. veris to me Joakim. I think P. reticulata is from a different section, same as PP. sikkimensis and florindae. The flower is yellow and bell-shaped but the stem should be from 20 to 45cms tall and the leaves up to 30 cms long.

I just thought that the flowers were a bit short but I presume they will be longer as they open.
So my hunches are correct
Pitty that that means that the garden is wrong
The garden is very nice and these were the only two miss namings I saw.
Kind regards

I think these will be the last of the P.allionii pics.
Crystal opens white and goes pink. Mary Berry I found sets seed and I think all my seedlings were from that.

Nice to see that the Primula season has really arrived at last. I note from my picture files that I posted one of my P. allionii 'Crowsley Variety' on the 18 February last year but this year I may be lucky by the end of this week.
Lovely little P. kialensis Tony, is it easy to please?
Nice selection Martin I hadn't seen P. 'Alexine' before. I really must get a 'Broadwell Milkmaid' this year. Martin, if your pots are dirty you should see mine! In fact when I do take some pictures of my stuff I shall be careful to crop all the pots out of the pictures otherwisw Maggi will only shout at me again.

David it must be if I am growing it! I got them as seedlings from Dieter Zschummel when we visited him last summer.it just sat there all winter as a tiny golden dormant bud.It is less than an inch high.

Some more primulas:
1. P.atrodentata (about 2cm tall) - to give you a sense of scale, it's in the middle of a 3" pot - it's tiny.
2. P.warshenewskiana just coming through.
3. P.allionii 'Elizabeth Baker'

Very nice indeed Giles.
Here are the first of my Primulas this year:-
Primula 'Helen Evans'
Primula allionii 'Mary Berry'. Dropped when I was re-potting last year hence the dirty leaf.
Primula x allionii 'Clarence Elliott'. A Joe Elliott 1982 cross from Primula allionii and the then 'White Linda Pope'
Primula 'Lindum Moonlight'
Primula x allionii 'Wharfedale Superb'
Primula x allionii 'Beatrice Wooster'. A cross made in 1947 by K R Wooster Primula allionii and 'Linda Pope'
Primula allionii 'Adrian Jones'

Dear David,
'Adrian Jones' is the one I like the best.
Where do you get your 'allionii's' from?
I got mine from Field House Nursery last year, and am overjoyed that they put on such a show.
.......I feel a spending spree coming on.....

Giles, 'Mary Berry' and 'Adrian Jones' came from Peninsula Primulas. Some of the others may have come from Susan Tindall at Timpany Nursery-I can't check which because her Web Site domain looks as though it has been given up-anyone know what is happening there?
Others I have probably picked up at NAPS Shows.
