Primula capitata ssp mooreana (Sikkim)
Very nice, Frazer,

Could someone ID this primula we photographed at the Ledshams' garden in Northern Ireland in April?
cheers

Looks like P. sino-purpurea, fermi
  Primula chionantha subsp. sinopurpurea, more correctly!  :)

One of the Nivalid species. I really struggle with them here. They look great up until the first (only) flowering then almost always collapse. You'd have difficulties I should think Fermi.

If that's not proof that the weather we've had this year is confusing the plants as wells as us, then I'm even further bemused.  :-X

Two Primulas flowering in crevice troughs at present. The first is P. daonensis from Pilous seed and the second is a modesta form I think. Giles has given me the right name previously and I forgot to make a label so please Giles? again?

Has anyone seen any of Joe Kennedy's Primroses for sale? He's been busy breeding new ones using old garden varieties.
