| I just want to rave about how much I love Primula cortusoides. Thanks Pudge & Sharon for recommending them (and probably sending me the seeds, though I can't remember). They are so bright and healthy-looking in my shade garden, and I'm going to be collecting more seeds to hopefully make a carpet of them.
I think they're my favourite perennial this year. |

| This is one of my favourite plants! It was recommended by a member of our garden club and I just love it. Right now it is blooming nearby an ornamental crab with the same color flowers and it looks just spectacular. I would recommend this plant to anyone! |

| They look good, Gil. They'll self-sow, too. |

| I need some too! Gil is going to save seeds this year, isn't she? :) |

| Of course I will! I have a few spare seeds but they are from 2005 so I will see if I can germinate them myself and collect new seeds for friends. |

| Primula aricula is one of my favourite perennials. Love the succulent like leaves. |

| P. auricula is not *quite* hardy here. There was one planted by the previous owners when I moved here 3 years ago, and it never had more than 3 leaves although it did manage to bloom last spring. This spring it was completely gone. I like them too though, even as an indoor pot plant. |
