Lovely display Hans.

Ewelina, you have some beautiful plants. The flower head on Bella Zana is magnificent.

[Ewelina Wajgert]

It is difficult to choose the most beautiful, but Bella Zana is really extraordinary. I like all with meal on the leaves.

Thank you for your comments.

Derek,
Try http://www.primulaworld.com/PWWeb/Index.shtml
Have a look at P.szechuanica and P.orbicularis and see what you think.

[David Nicholson]

It's very pretty Derek whatever it is.

[Lesley Cox]

A lot will depend on the foliage Derek. Can you show us that please?

Lesley sorry only just seen your post this photo shows the leaves, Derek

[Lesley Cox]

Closer to orbicularis then, than szechuanica.

My Primula carniolica caused doubt in some minds last year. The leaves seem to be right but John Richardes describes the flower as pink with a mealy ring on the throat. No mealy ring on mine.



Another of the 'named' Auriculas I keep, Alpine Auricula 'Divind Dunch' bred by one of the doyens of Auricula breeding, Derek Telford. Derek is a 'Geordie' (ie. born in the Newcastle area though he nows lives in Huddersfield my home town and that is why I kept the plant) and roughly translated from the Geordie dialect divint dunch means 'don't push'

David,
Your  P.carniolica looks like the one on the Primulaworld website - that's good enough for me!

[David Nicholson]

Thanks Giles, I've just had a look. Of the four pictures the fourth one doesn't look anything like mine, the others do but have the mealy ring around the eye.
