Dear R.Robin so you will get lots of seeds. The primulas grow fast. 
I do have a site it is http://www.lutherart.de. I should update it again especially the english part.

The sculptures are amazing Axel - I love the unicorn!

[Ragged Robin]

Hi Axel, I should be 'doing things' but am still sitting here at my computer riveted to your site transported through flashes of cave painting inspirations, communing with creatures to understand their essence and dancing with the alluring foil - your work is a bubbling fount and I love the connection with Nature, Colour, Words, Imagination, Seeds (germinating ideas  )

SO  MANY talented Forumists!! 
Axel, I am so pleased to learn you are a sculptor.... for I suppose that the Ram's head in your avatar is your work? Until now I rather thought it might be the plastinated head of a sheep by Dr Gunther von Hagens       I prefer that it is a sculpture!!

Primula x grignensis (Grigna Massif, 2300m, Italy) and a Primula hirsuta hybrid.

thank you, Hans, for identifying my P. spectablis!!!!

i believe this is p. scandinavica---but could someone tell me if it is not.
nice rich colour, compared with the very similar native canadian P. mistassinica and laurentiana.

Thanks a lot for the compliments. A gardener is always a artist. I am a artist who found out that he is primarily a gardener.
The ram is of course one of my works and stays in a nice garden .
Since yesterday I have again a small garden an allotmentgarden in fact. Still I am gardening everywhere.
Since I have been for two years without garden I know I need it more than anything else (maybe apart from my wife )

Thanks Robin for asking if there was a website.

A couple named forms of Primula sieboldii.  They're getting swamped from Corydalis nobilis, must take corrective action soon.  Both of these cultivars are by local Iris breeders in the area, who also work on other groups such as P. sieboldii.

1-2  P. sieboldii 'Sparker'
3     P. sieboldii 'Lacy Lady'

wow--that's a long project! good luck with the weather!

[partisangardener]

Sorry, the aluminiumfoil sculpture (created there) will be there. I will be leaving after one week.
Not that long. I think Gersau would be too small for what I could do till October.

Graham, I had promised pictures of Primula laurentiana in the wild....here is the link to another section of our forum, They were photographed yesterday growing on rocks at Brier Island in Nova Scotia.

Kristl You made my mouth watering. Your Sarracenias (I have now a collection of named varieties just germinating)...this cute primula laurentiana, all these berries Iris etc., this year I start my bog. When it is running and your yellow Sarracenias will be mature I might ask you for seeds
We have the same variations of Sphagnum here.
