I planted my first Auricula-type Primula last year in the rock garden. P. auricula 'Argus' is a delicate bit of drama in the front garden that thrilled me when it sent out flowers this spring. I planted four different ones and nothing has touched them in a year. Fingers crossed.
At the far end of the garden — almost to the back lot line — is the polar opposite flower and plant. I have one Itoh intersectional hybrid Peony and I've always wanted another. This year I found it at K and A Greenhouse in Madison.
I was lucky to find a three year old plant with one bud on it. P. 'Creme a la Orange' is already a winner in my book. A pricey plant and worth every penny.
Both are beautiful plants that I admire even though they appear impossible for me to grow.
