WOW!!!! I've never been much of a Primrose person, but the more I see great pictures like this, the more I think, "Maybe I should rethink Primroses!"

Thanks, these 'show' auriculas have a dedicated following and when you see the stunning blooms with their unusual, often multicoloured petals with 'bloom' displayed in traditional auricula theatres you can understand why.
