For those in dry climates , let me show off Primula chionantha subsp. chionantha and P. chionantha subsp. sinopurpurea. Both grown from seed and now flowering for their 4th year.
Those are truly lovely Primulas Todd!! And I think I have seed for them from the APS exchange....I see one more pot to sow this week-end! Are they easy growers? And I'm assuming very hardy at least to zone 4?
Amy, they are not the easiest...need moist, organic-rich soil and not too hot. They are hardy in zone 5 for sure...zone 4 probably if suitable snow-cover. I got my seed from the AGS.

Todd, impressive primulas! I've tried chionantha several times but they are shortlived here.
Tim, that Triteleia is nice!

I'm envious of your primroses, Todd - I can't even manage to get
P. x beesiana
into a second season here (though I was again tempted to buy a couple last weekend).
Stunning colour variation on the
Tritelia
, Tim!

Been a lot of wet here too, and not actually cold, mostly, but below seasonal often along with the rain for the last several weeks... This morning was pleasant and clear, and managed a quick (before the rain moved in again) bike ride to photograph Dodecatheon flowering in the thousands
Back to pouring tonight...

Cohan, I can't see the Dodecatheons
Krish, I like the Echium! Is it perennial or biennial?
Todd, I have given up those sunloving Oxalises
Today it is raining but that's appreciated as it was getting rather dry (by my standard, not by some of yours though
).

Well, if you find out, tell me 'cause I can't grow 'em either!
Pardon the poor quality Blackberry photo, but I was astounded to see a clump of
Cypripedium parviflorum
along the bike path last week; I've only ever seen a single plant with a single flower in this park system, once, many years ago and miles away. Other people had noticed this plant too, judging from the bent and trampled foliage around it (after looking at it myself, I fluffed up the yellow sweet clover and various other weeds around it to try to restore its cover a little!)... and so I was even
more
surprised to still see it intact this morning after the weekend!
It was particularly surprising to see it in the area where it was... once a treed coulee with natural springs and a stream, but sadly "improved" many decades ago (i.e. by channeling the springs and stream into a storm sewer, paving it, planting weed trees and lawn grass, and letting weeds take over what was left - yeah, let's hear it for progress!
)

Sorry to hear that, Todd, but I don't think I can help you
I do nothing special and some grow well and some don't!
Lori, a lovely sight! I have seen the native C. calceolus only twice.
