In the cosmos of Primrose finish , the name Barnhaven carry as much cache as the name Gucci or Versace does in Fashion . Or , more accurately , when one grows primula from Barnhaven cum , or obtains Barnhaven plants , it ’ the same thing as buying an kit at a couture Milan Fashion house . So today , I am remember the heyday of Primrose mania , in the United States during the 1930 ’s and 40 ’s , inspired by my Barnhaven seedlings .
Simply said , Barnhaven equals provenance , for the gentility lines can be traced back to 1935 when the midget greenhouse founded by Florence Bellis in rural Oregon during the natural depression . Last Year , when the current possessor of Barnhaven visit our gardens during the American Primrose Society National Show , they shared some seed with us from their specialised collections of Polyanthus primula . Today , anyone can order these most exclusive of primroses , but only from the root , Barnhaven Primroses . My seedling are starting to blossom , and are very choice and beautiful , but the back chronicle of this renowned line is even better .
