I'm not familiar with this - any more clues as to what it is - animal, vegetable or mineral? :-) Chris S A quick google suggests possibly azalea, possibly primrose. If it is primrose http://www.barnhavenprimroses.com/plants/Enthusiast's%20primroses.htm have seeds. Never used them just found it on google. Also http://www.mr-fothergills.co.uk. Mark It is a Primula it has outer and inner sort of leaves where the flowers are. 'Wanda' is one named variety. You can also get other plants called hose in hose but generally it's always alluded to the Primula. janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

writes They were recently rejuvenated by a breeder who has managed to stabilise the strain so they come almost true from seed (before it was very random). Now all I have to do is remember who it was... Have you remembered yet? I know that Three counties nurseries won a silver at the recent RHS show but don't know of any main suppliers. janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

I have always understood that "hose in Hose" referred to flowers that had one flower growing from the centre of another, most commonly Primula wanda "Hose in Hose", Mimulus naiandinus "Hose in hose". The plant finder list 5 nurseries with the primula, unfortunately I lost mine 3 or 4 years ago, and I think I lost my mimulus this last summer through neglect. Oxslip was always said to be a cross between primrose and cowslip, though P.elatior was supposed to be the "true" oxslip. In passing.my "Bible" (probably printed around 1920) says "The double flowered Primroses,white, yellow, mauve, red. etc, etc. are "Antiques" of exceptional charm, whilst other interesting old Primroses are Jack in the green, Gallgaskins, Hose in Hose etc". I can find no other ref. to Gallgaskins. -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |

Perhaps they meant something else? After checking my stash of primula books, I can report back that there is such a thing as "Wanda hose", a hose-in-hose version of Wanda. Whether it is a sport of Wanda or a seedling or a cousin is not stated. That it is distinguished from Wanda proper implies that W.p. is not hose-in-hose -- in agreement with the vast sheets of Wanda that ornament local gardens at this time of year. The latest Plantfinder in my possession, 1998-99, lists, in addition to Wanda proper, both 'Wanda Hose in Hose' and 'Wanda Jack in the Green' which in a way confirms that these are distinct from Wanda proper. I rather wonder if 'Wanda Jack in the Green' is the cultivar known here as 'Julie Jack', as the latter is very similar to Wanda, though redder in color. -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada [change "atlantic" to "pacific" and "invalid" to "net" to reply by email] |
