| I was thinking how well and how many Primulas I have this year . They are probably my favorite flower. This P. sunset shade is one of the oldest in the garden . |
 |
| Prumula 'Gold Laced ' one of my favorite . Once it's finished blooming I'll dig it up and divide it. |
 |
| Primula veris 'gilded spice ...' hiding . This is listed as a Barnhaven primrose . barnhaven primroses started breeding primulas in Oregon in the 1930's . They are now based in France ! |
 |
| Couldn't ID this one |
 |
| Primula kisuana 'alba' I bought this last year from the Rock Garden Society . I like the fuzzy Gerainum like leaves. |
 |
| Primula x vulgaris 'Guinevere' |
 |
| Primula 'Wanda' |
 |
| Primula x pruhuniciana 'springtime' growing in my Bonsai dish . Looking through my plant tags , I see I'm missing : Primula 'white echo' Primula x pubescens lavender' Primula aurucula 'Fred booley' Primula auricle 'blue velvet' Primula x vulgaris 'hole in the hole yellow' Primula vulgaris 'Francesca' I'm going to have to have another look around. |
I've also lost a good number of Primulas, mostly the drumstick types, over the last few years, I don't know why. My 'Sunset Shades' has self-sown prolifically, however, which is fine with me. But I really need to give the bed they're in a good topping up with compost and maybe dig a few and put them in better spots. They've even sown themselves into gravel outside the bed.
ReplyDeleteI found more ! Hidden under all the new growth. Mine get all the decayed leaves that drop off the surrounding trees.
ReplyDeletePrimulas are such a sign of spring, aren't they? I can give you a new start of Francesca, if you like. Mine was a gift and has gotten big enough to divide. :)
ReplyDeleteYes please ! I would love a start , when I was looking up the plant tags to ID my Primulas I was sad that one had vanished .
