Author Message   Treelover  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Friday, April 07, 2006 - 06:31 am EST :    Having finished work today I saw these and had to get a couple, especially the purple one! I don't know the variety but they were labelled as polyanthus when clearly they are primulas as theres no single stem as in a poly. I like the white edge to the petals! Pink one: and the purple one. It looks blue on the PC but its a velvety purple colour, very eye catching.Also the foliage on this one has a reddish tinge to it.

Flowers eaten and only the blue one flowered. I think theyve succumbed to the garden gremilns. I think I'll just buy plastic plants for the front garden from now on!
