#primrose

Spring has Sprung. The Bluebells and other wild flowers were out in force in the woods around Ightham Mote at the weekend and my pond is 95% tadpoles

Happy Valentine’s Day. 

Make your own: start with one snow storm. Add items from the horticulture apothecary, such as dried rose buds, deer moss, primrose, preserved greenery, tallow berry, all spice, winter berry, fern fronds, lenten roses, pine cones, assorted winter flower buds. 

Send to someone you love. 

Blooming now in the garden, bright and happy Evening Primrose flowers. Tall and erect pink and yellow varieties making quite a show.

Unusual bedding primulas

Important prerequisite to this post: I’m not a huge fan of the fancy colours and extravagant patterns of primroses bred and selected for bedding schemes, and much prefer the humble and unassuming Primula vulgaris I sometimes find on the hills. The few you’ve seen in my allotment were all saved from the skip at work for the sole purpose of providing early foragers with some food.    

BUT, certain cultivars are indeed striking in their oddity and I can’t help looking at them as interesting weirdos. Here are some I thought would be worth mentioning:

-Primula ‘Marli Candy Corn’. Simple enough you might call it elegant, it reminds me of some of my favourite roses. An outsider in this group.   

-Primula ‘Zebra Blue’. Tacky, but it’s blue, white and yellow, my favourite colour combination. 

-Primula ‘Sirococco Red Flame’. Even tackier. All the primulas in the Sirococco series are just as unique, but this one makes me think of a gorgeous sunset on the beach.

-Primula ‘Belarina Valentine’. A cheaper, living alternative to a bunch of red roses. Nothing less, nothing more. 

Note: I do not endorse BigHort -hope I can use your term without paying royalties @plantanarchy ;)- and the objectification of plants.
