We've been Polyanthed!
The pair of us have a bit of a leaning towards the Primula genus.
Some time ago we bought 3 "Primula Wanda". We didn't want/need three but it was one of those daft 3 for 2 jobs.
Anyway I spotted this rearing its head beside one of the groups, so I separated it to see what develops.
I suppose, in the most innocent translation you might say it's a marvel of "Genetic modification" in a way.
" The modern polyanthus is the result of three European species crossing with each other: the familiar primrose (Primula vulgaris), the cowslip (P. veris) and the rarer oxlip (P. elatior); a fourth species from the Caucasus, P. juliae, has also had an influence."
According to "The Telegraph"
"Traditionally, polyanthus are sold as temporary plants for an end-of-winter splash, to be flung on to the compost heap when finished with." I didn't know that, I rather suspect the polyanths didn't either.
