The Candalabra is P. denticulata and a fine plant! The double Prim looks similar to P. 'Lilacina Plena', which used to be called 'Quaker Bonnet', again something I won't commit to :) Annoyingly most of the web photos of Lilacina Plena look pink. Kell Modern Primrose and Polyanthus Group cultivars tend to be repeat bloomers, we have a smaller show from the cultivars in the Autumn, although I understand that they do this less often in the US. There are various sections of Primulas, Vernales are spring flowered types, Nivales Winter flowered (among other catagories that I'm not likely to understand enough to write about). The Auriculas are beauties, I prefer the border Auriculas for growing as they are hardy little things, the show Auriculas are spectacular but can be a bit of a pain to look after. |
