Primula vialii (Orchid primrose) by Liz

Primulas come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and this primula, with its scarlet flower spike and mauve-pink flowers  looks very different from the primulas and polyanthus we see in Sydney! However, the leaves do look similar to the other varieties. Primula vialli, is originally from China, but is now grown in Duns, Scotland by Liz.
