    Can anyone name these? They are primulas of some sort and probably from China or thereabouts. I lost the labels since planting out last year. Wasn't sure that I'd see them again, but the leaves are up good and strong. Expect them to flower in July.
    Many thanks!

    I think the top one is 'vialli'.
    I got one from eBay, but mine hasn't flowered yet.

    Top one is P. viallii, The second is one of the Candelabra type primulas, there are a few species like that,hard to tell apart.
