if it is, my white one has some offsets you could have, swap you for the hop  ;D

Love that description...not sure if that's an auricula biut sounds good :) You are getting a hop anyway ....he's definitely rooted now. I used to grow auriculas then a guys goats got into garden, then cows. Lost greenhouse and 160 Auriculas...gutted. Here's some Auriculas :)

they are lovely flowers, this has leaves like a primrose? long stem with a pompom of little white flowers on, not as posh as those...not one for flowers, really :)
always get confused between primula and primrose, you might be able to help, any idea what these are ?

[Hector]

Primula is generic Latin/family name for plants like polyanthus and primroses. Plyanthus tend to have multiple flowes, like piccie versus primula tends to have a stem with a flower...at least thats what I think!
