Primula Auriculas

We were pleased to welcome back Trevor Rogers for our April meeting. Trevor told us all about the history of Primula Auriculas plus how to grow them He explained about the different types and how they have been bred - also which are exhibition plants and which ones can be grown in the garden.. He brought along a few of his plants to show us but said that he has very few in flower because the spring has been so cold this year. Fortunately Trevor was able to show us plenty of photos of plants from years with more favourable weather.
As gardeners we are all glad that the weather has at last improved. We had a good selection of flowers for the Flower of the Month competition, which was won by Pauline Ranson with a white hyacinth.
