Ron,
I seems to work on most for me but not all. Thank you!

Really? Just one left click on the red cross.
Does a picture that is there dissapear for you when you click on it? Then come back when you click on the cross?

Just checked the pictures and crosses on this page. Reply 226-it doesn't work; Reply228-it doesn't work; Reply 233-it does work and the picture that is there reverts to a red cross when I click on it.

Most odd!

Well blow me down, I don't even see any red crosses...I am using Opera as a browser so perhaps that is why.

Hi,

Glad to see we can attach images again, and all the ones above are working...

This struck me as an unusually dark polyanthus. From a distance it looks black, but not close up.

Thank goodness that Fred has sorted the hiccups so all the photos are now visible 8)

 David, that lovely dark primula makes me think of the "old" varieites, which so often had that deep velvety colour. Most attractive.

Very nice orange ones, Armin  :)
This one not for those of a delicate constitution (reminds me of some Sax fortunei cultivars)

Giles,
thanks you like the orange ones. I bought 2 plants from Renate Brinkers and they have spread. The red one possible is from Chris Boulby seed.

Your different forms and colors of P. sieboldii's are suberb! 8)
Do you grow them outside?

Michael, very beautiful! 8)

David,
The leaves of Primula frondosa are heavily mealed, but become greener as summer. Its lilac-pink, yellow-eyed, umbelliferous flowers appear in late spring
