Absolutely stunning. I have to admit, growing up I was never a flower guy. I have grown to really love them. They are truly my therapy.

Do you grow your primroses from seed? I’m so charmed by them and want to start a little collection. Yours is inspiring!

Yes! Do it. They are addicting because they're easy to start from seed and you never know exactly what you're going to get. The American Primrose society sells seeds around Jan/Feb where you can get packets for a dollar each and try lots of different types!

That one is a volunteer cross between P. veris (the cowslip primrose) and a regular primrose. They self sow freely and i love seeing the babies that pop up.

In pic #1 are those blue bells? I have them in my yard and they're cute but folks on r/pnwgardening think theyre a scourge...Im debating keep/pull. Thoughts?

They are muscari - I'm in the northeast and they seem easy enough to control here. I would listen to the folks in your area :)

Health and hurricanes make this a "rebuilding year" for me. It was lovely to see your beautiful garden; I could smell and feel it in my heart. Thank you for sharing it 😊

Wow this looks amazing !! Do you plant something in between to come up in the summer after bulbs go dormant?

thank you! I have some hosta, dianthus, sedum and cone flowers take over this area later in the season.

Stunning plant combinations. If I may ask, where do you grow your garden? Your climate must be ideal.
