What kind of primula is 'Kusum Krishna' please? It's hard to tell from the flowers alone. Lovely plant.

Two interesting Primulas I bought recently.
First - Primula 'Kusum Krishna'.  I thought at first glance, Primula sonchifolia but the leaves are different and unusual.  The label says, a new hybrid raised in Scotland, but does not give the raiser or parentage.  Does anybody know any more ?
my reply:
This primula has been raised by Graeme and Hilary Butler of Rumbling Bridge Nursery.
They describe Primula x ‘Kusum Krishna’ as a deep blue, white eyed Auricula."Our best hybrid yet, received a P.C. in 2007. Large, stunning deep, blue flrs. Stemless habit."


 and later  this :I found the parentage.....P. auricula x P. hirsuta  Cheesy

...and a photo of a plant at an AGS show....http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/274113/ which really shows the foliage and the deep colour of the buds

My golly that's a fabulous plant Chris and Maggi. The photo in your link Maggi is just stunning with the slightly inturned white edge. No wonder the breeder is proud of it, Rightly so!

The juliae hybs (x Pruhoniciana) include some early ones. I had 'Ideal' many years ago and recently was able to get 'Iris Mainwaring' again. Someone posted that one here a day or two ago. Pretty flesh-coloured flowers. There are several illustrated in Mansfield's "Alpines in Colour and Cultivation." I had 'E R Janes' at one stage but haven't seen or heard of that one for years.

Hans,
I've got 'Blutenkissen' and 'Schneekissen'. I could send these with the 'Perle von Bottrop' on Monday, if that's of help.
(apologies re photos, it's been very wet here recently)

Whoops nearly missed this! Would you like a bit of my Primula 'Blue Wave' in exchange Chris?

A nice flat or two of P. jesoana (SRGC 2011 exchange) produced, as it often does, Cortusa matthioli. Close up shows the tell-tale fused calyx.

P. hirsuta seed (also SRGC 2011) has produced some nice plants, correctly named.

Last year I had also made a request here for seed of gold/silver lace, hose-in-hose
etc to replenish all these "old-fashioned" varieties that I had to leave behind in Ontario.  I was unable to get any seed from members, so off I went to commercial sources.

Here is what I have thus far.

Another seedling from seed collected from my Primula 'Blue Wave'. This one is better than the one I posted a couple of days ago and is a rich, velvety and very dark purple.

Looks as though there's a nice offset on it as well Chris, I'll put you down for that one.
