Strangely enough, my eye caught the Craigton Blue  ::)
 Are they growing it under glass, Giles? It looks very pale indeed.... tell 'em they can plant it out  8)


I'd love it if a van load of those plants could be coming up to the Aberdeen Show on Saturday....... ;)

The Corydalis was under glass. My camera had trouble with the blue: it either went technicolour or vey pale.
They also had Jasminum parkeri under glass  ???
(If there are any Jasmine-folk out there, a new Kew Monograph of 'The Genus Jasminum' is coming out in a couple of weeks; its not on Amazon, but can be ordered from Kew).

And what is Petromarula? I've never heard of it. Looks quite spectacular.

May I correct please? The phlox immediately under the Petromarula, is, I'm sure, Saponaria 'Bressingham Hybrid.'

Lovely plants, every one and excellent pictures.  :)

Just looking at the pictures now and my eye fell on the same plant, but Lesley made the question already.
I agree with her.

Thankyou Lesley and Luit.
I realised it wasn't a primula or daphne, but was left struggling for a name after that  8)

Lesley,
It seems your question has been overlooked.

Petramarula pinnata is a member of the bellflower family from Crete -
not related to Amarula, a tasty liqueur from South Africa :)

Thanks Gerd, I was wondering if it was a bulb, perhaps related to Scilla, judging from the stem and flower shape.

Giles, like Maggi, you will have to get out more (even more than you already do  :)) There's a lot out there that isn't a primula or a daphne. ;D
