Haven't heard of that one, but I'll be looking for it on your Site next year. ;-)
Just a thought, but has anyone working with primroses been able to breed out that
yellow eye? Of course, when I ask Hem Society people if anyone's working on breeding
out the daylilies' universal yellow throat they always look at me aghast, like I've
suggested something obscene. Maybe now I'll get hate-mail from the primrose
people...
