Hope this gives you a few starting points I'd already got those thanks but they aren't Primula specialists so won't have a lot of choice. I know there was one 'proper' nursery in Leics. or might have been Lincs. they specialised in Auriculas and primulas but can't find the name:) -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
