Love this primula or around here gets called Kirrie Dumplings.

Nice Dumplings Scotkat lol

Good enough to eat :) will be splitting them soon .

I've never seen these before, they are really pretty.!

Is this maybe Primula deltoides? I do so like Primulas, my favourite though is P. viallii which I am now growing on having raised 17 sedlings. This is a splendid clump of 'Dumplings'

Thankyou Dioon I am not sure which one this is but a delight in the garden.

I will be spliting once past flowering so pm me is you woould like happy to post to you.

At first glance I thought it was a hydrangea, then noticed the tulips and that restored the scale.
Gorgeous colour and I love the name. Do Kirrie Dumplings have anything to do with Kirriemuir ?

How did you guess local name for them known by everyone.:)

Intriguing :-)

You llike it too thankyou .

My father spent some time growing up in Kirriemuir back in the '20s when my grandparents ran the Airlie Arms. While on holiday one year my father took us to see where he had grown up and showed us the hotel's hayloft which he had fallen out of ..... as children we loved hearing the stories of the antics he and his brother got up to :-)

A small world I know one of the daughters whos parents aslo had the Airlie Hotel .

Here Mum passed away 3 weeks ago .

He would see many changes now I expect:)
