Re: Primroses

Hello Marge,
    I have an interest in some orchids that will not make it without the
consistent extra moisture in addition to the primula and some of the larger
ferns. There are flood areas here, but they dry out in summer. Can not build
ponds without liners as we are over limestone cave areas... everything
eventually seeps away. We shall see.... I do know that I need something
other than the small child's wadding pools I have in the garden now. It
never ends, does it?
