Primula japonica 'Millers Crimson'

nice coloured one Kasy, love it...

Lovely picture :)

sorry i didnt realise it was japanese, its lovely.

would like to see the full japanese garden ; )

me too!!!

glad you like it guys.
Sticki - anything with the word 'japonica' in plant's name can be translated as 'japanese'
STT and ST - it's just a begining - few oriental style pots, few plants with common name 'japanese' in it or simply few plants with oriental origin.
Need few more accessories to achieve that oriental atmosphere - it takes money ;-(
oh, and got a clematis with proper japanese word in it - but it was supposed to be a late birthday pressie. So it may go one day soon, lol.

Oh happy late birthday kasy!

I shall look forward to seeing that collection, and garden! I didn't know that about 'japonica'

clematis japonica?

Sticki - my birthday is months away;-)
Stevie - that would be too easy - the translation of the name is something like 'Seven Bridges'. Sorry - to lazy to go out into the garden to check the label, lol

seven bridges for seven samurai???

well..... ekhmmmm.....how to say that...
just checked the label and the name is: 'YATSUHASHI' and it means EIGHT bridges. So we are missing one samurai, lol.

Yatsuhashi (bridge with eight folds) a zigzag path over water
I assume its got 8 petals and a zig zaggy pattern?

oh i can picture it now ~ bit like the bridge on the willow pattern plates??

or is it like origami with 8 folds??

oh, I see - the zigzag path over the water to get rid of devil souls? the label doesn't include any pictures. There is one flower bud on it so I guess I just have to wait and see. Unless the owner wants to claim the pressie earlier.
