My trip to Pennsylvania and Delaware a couple of weeks ago coincided with the peak bloom of the candelabra-type primroses. Here's an amazing display of them at the quarry garden at Winterthur in Delaware.**Be sure to click on all of the photos on the left!

Want to learn more about primroses? Sydney Eddison can tell you all about them. Click here!  Sydney also narrated a slideshow of primroses in her Connecticut garden. Click here!

This is SO beautiful. We have success with candlelabra primrose along our stream and in the wettest parts of the woodland garden. This encourages me to divide all the more!
