Those are beautiful, Mike!
I was saddened to see that my Japanese Primula seem to be gone now. I'd started them from seed and they finally bloomed the 3rd year, last spring. After blooming they just sort of disappeared, and I assumed they'd gone dormant. I'm pretty sure if any were still there I would have seen something while weeding a few days ago; I remember last year at this time being surprised at how fast they were growing. They survived a couple of tough summers before they bloomed, so I can't imagine what would have done them in last summer?
