I have some new season's seed if anyone is interested. Carlo? Luc? anyone else? It was harvested around March and has been packeted up ready for seedlists but is better as fresh as possible so.....It germinates well.

What a disappointment. In a moment of idle curiosity I decided to cross pollinate Primula Aire Mist with P. Wharfedale Bluebell parents shown below. How jolly diappointing to see the first progeny to flower. Perhaps the others will be better but I don't hold out much hope.

John, whatever are you moaning about? Maybe the colours aren't true but surely the seedling shows potential? Maybe a second generation will be of interest? i.e. the seedlings from the pink seedling? (assuming it's fertile of course). If the colour of the seedling pic is true, it's a lovely clear pink and maybe it will grow to have the same flower power as `Aire Mist.' Or how about trying the reverse cross? Don't throw out the seedlings just yet.

John, maybe it's because I lack your experience but I would have been very happy had I produced your seedling. Well worth persevering with I would have thought.

Anthony, I nearly missed your Primula flaccida, what a cracker. If you ever have any seed to spare I could find it a good home :o
