Unnamed collection seedling, cream form with a green-yellow eye, family of Primulaceae. Horticultural hybrid resulting from the cross between Primula auricula and Primula hirsuta, this seedling stands out with an unusual color palette in the group, playing on soft and subtle tones rarely encountered.
The open flowers display petals of a very pale cream white to pinkish beige, slightly iridescent depending on the angle of light, with a floury white eye surrounded by a bright and luminous green-yellow ring. The central tube, olive green, further accentuates this vegetal dominance at the heart of the flower. The still closed buds, visible at the base of the umbel, are a bright yellow that gradually lightens upon opening, revealing the range of transition between the different floral stages on the same umbel.
This transition from yellow to cream as the flower opens is a particularly interesting observational characteristic, uncommon in the group and immediately noticeable on a well-stocked umbel. The foliage is bright green, broad, with a rounded and toothed blade, forming a supple rosette.
In its natural habitat, the flowering of the parent species extends from April to June. In cultivation, it occurs in April-May. Well-drained, humus-rich substrate, partial shade, protection against stagnant winter moisture.
