I found a rather bad video at the end of my photos yesterday. It is of the Asian Candelabra Primula from Jack's Garden. A plant I am in love with. A lot of the video has been trimmed because of the wobbliness. I had forgotten my second trip down into the quarry by myself. Take your phone was the command issued and off I went happily to video. It was only at the end of my walk and meeting the family who had come to find me that I had an embarrassing collapse as I reached the very last step, luckily Andrew caught me, and Nicky and I sat in the top garden whilst I recovered. But even though the video is bad, played loud I can listen to the birds and the wind in the trees. I am determined to come to an amicable arrangement with my camera as to functioning as a 'seeing eye'. It make take quite awhile though!
Primula Japonica: Taken From The English Flower Garden written by W.Robinson - 1895.
"One of the handsomest of primroses, and now too common to need description. It is a good perennial and is not in the least tender. It is a first rate border plant and in moist shady spots with deep loam it grows as vigorously as a cabbage, throwing up flower stems of 2 feet or more. And unfolding tier after tier of its beautiful crimson blossoms for several weeks in succession. It is supposed to be rabbit proof.......the seed should not be sown in the heat and the seed will remain dormant for awhile unless it is sown immediately after the seed has been taken from the plant. .....one must also be careful to prevent or keep down the growth of Moss or Liverwort in the seed pan"
