As usual Giles, lovely little plants and very well grown.

Thankyou, David.
I've found a picture of 'Appleblossom' for you, in 'Primulas: The Complete Guide' by the late Mary Robinson.
Yours looks spot-on!

I bought a couple of primula's last year but I mixed up some of the names (stupid, I know :-[ ):

The first two are pictures (from the same plant) I have as Primula reidii but the third one is clearly Primula reidii.
Does anyone have an idea which species (probably not easy/possible without flowers?) the first could be?

Wim,
The only Primula I've got with leaves that shiny is P.poissonii, but I guess there must be others.
There's a good foliage shot of it at  http://www.primulaworld.com/PWWeb/Index.shtml

(and your P.reidii is alot better than mine!!!  :'(   ;D ;D)

Giles,

I cheated, I bought the reidii last year from Edrom and they always deliver very good plants. I think I bought the other one from them too, maybe I can compare with pictures on their site.

I have just caught a  snippet of Gardener's World programme on TV and I hear that Edrom have won a Gold Medal for their display at Malvern Show.... WELL DONE to Cath and Terry!!  8)

Lesley,

I think it is rather cute.  I particularly like the white frosted "moustache".  What exactly is it guarding your Daphne's FROM, Giles?

...I think it's going to be more a case of protecting the CAT (from ending up as Teddy's breakfast  :-[)

Great primulas, Giles, but I have to digress.... who is Teddy? Dog, cat? Meat eating goldfish?
