Wow! Isn't it lovely to see such beautiful flowers, something to aspire to. Well done on your first places, you say 'easy' but they still have to be immaculate. I have a real soft spot for any Primula, yours is beautiful.

Lovely blog. the plants are super quality. Well done on your two firsts. The P. henrici is very unusual with the different colour flowers or is there more than one plant in the pot? Cyril Lafong showed this in Edinburgh in 2015 He won the “R.E.Cooper Bhutan Drinking Cup” for best Asiatic Primula with Primula henrici. It had pink flowers like the one on the bottom right of your pot. .

SG-I've looked on the primulaworld website.It says the flowers can be yellow,pink or white fading to pink,which my one does.Even our judge was unsure and there's nothing he doesn't know.
I got it in October '16 and I'm just pleased that it's still alive,as it's not guaranteed to thrive down here.
If I can get it to a size to win a national show 1st,I'll be very happy.
Ther was a big one at either the AGS OR SRGC show at the weekend.

I read that but thought it would be all one colour fading to pink. If that dark pink is the colour of all of the flowers it must look spectacular. I do hope you can keep it growing. You have succeeded so far so you must be doing something very well. I have not seen any photos from the shows yet but will keep an eye open for them. Thank you for sharing.
