A new forum? Primrose! Well I do not know if I should curse or thank Ej. I thought my impulsive plant disorder may have been under control....well thanks Ej, this is just what I needed, a new forum on a plant I love! I do hope gardener's who love primula save seed this year for sharing. This could be a very interesting forum, I hope to see many species pictured and discussed. I love my primrose with Astilbe, hellebore, Hosta, ginger, ferns, epimediums.............

Larry, I thought you had auriculas!??!! Bruce, I was thinking of you when I seconded Larry's suggestion. I know we're in for some treats come spring.

I just found this! Bruce I am in your camp, I love them too. I would love to exchange seed so I will see what blooms this year and if I can collect some seed.

No Auriculas yet but I'd love some(theyre scented I believe), and would like to grow them as indoor plants.

I love my candelabra primulas...and others too. They grow really well by our creek. They seed everywhere, so must be easy to start...though I don't seem to need to do that! Lady Greer:

I so enjoy the two gifts that a friend of mine brought to me as a present from her garden last fall ! - Primula "gold laced"
- Primula 'Mrs Ferguson'. It proves difficult to take a good pic of it, I don't know why !
New ones to come soon, I hope!!!

I love that 'gold laced', reminds me of an Auricula. Wonder if its a hybrid of a prim and an auricula?

The gold lace were the first primulas we ever grew many years ago.We got the seed from Barnhaven and sold the spare plants to the local greengrocer.He sold out in minutes.Remembering makes us feel quite a bit older
