It rained all day yesterday so I didn't have a chance to take pictures of the new flowers I bought the other day at the garden center. While everything is still very wet outside I did go and take some pictures of some of the flowers. They are of course still in their pots but soon we will plant them, I would say in a week or so. Depending on the weather.
This is a very pretty Primrose. We have several Primrose in our gardens but I have never seen this color. I had to have it. Primrose grows amazingly well for us, every year the plants get bigger and produce more flowers.

@silvermist They are rare, but I don't know the reason blue flowers are rare.

A true blue flower is rare in the flower world. This is more purple but I love it.

@fishtiger58 We're getting a lot of rain here on the east coast now, too. It's May! We're supposed to have sun now! :)

Apt name I would say. Our other primroses do so very well. I'm hopeful for this one to spread like my others do.

@fishtiger58 I love primroses and I think I need to buy some more once it gets warm enough to grow them. It is still so cold here.

@BelleStarr It's fairly chilly here too but those few warm days got my primrose to bloom.

They do really well for us, and when I saw this color in was in the cart. Been raining here so we haven't planted them yet.

What beautiful flowers! I'm jealous, they don't grow well here. I think it gets too hot for them in the summer. I still have 2 plants sitting in their pots that I have not been able to plant yet. Every time the ground gets almost dry enough to plant them, it rains again!

We also have muddy conditions but they can survive for some time in the pots, so I'm not worried yet lol. Thanks.

@fishtiger58 I have one plant, a columbine flower, that is very pot bound and is drying out so fast. I have to really keep an eye on it to keep it alive. I would really like to get it planted soon!

I have never seen this particular color of primrose before, as soon as I saw it in the cart it went. Can't wait for the rain to stop so I can plant it.

Pretty color, we have a lot of wild roses around here, which I assume are primroses???

Good question, these don't grow as tall as roses they stay fairly close to the ground, There are so many different varieties of roses who the heck knows. The scientific name on the tag is Primula polyantha. I'm pretty sure the doesn't help me one bit.
