The flower beds are really starting to get moving now, all the earliest to flower are the primulinus x huttonii hybrids. The vigour is unbelievable and the variation all from one cross and in some cases the same seed pod is incredible.
The main aim has always to be reduce the plant and flower size in proportion and make it into a garden plant. I've never been so close and we are only about twenty plants into the flowering season.
Getting a range of plants together with shared characteristics, but with variations on flower colour has proved elusive until I embarked on this cross with the species tristis.
Lots more to follow!
