A Tour Down PRIMROSE PATH - Ep. 103

[@cefcat5733]

This lady is enchanting. Thanks to her and you, for guiding us to and through one of her many passions. The video relays a bit of bravery in our direction, to try these flowers next Spring, or in late Winter at the Grocery Store. Her life story so far, is a true treasure. Glad we didn't see any pythons amongst the Primroses. Would enjoy visiting her again. 🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️

Elizabeth will be pleased. Such a thoughtful comment.

What an amazing sweet and kind lady. The way she speaks you just want to listen... so much passion and knowledge 💚

I love it when people are sentimental about nature just like me. Way too many people think bonding with nature over grief or other life experiences is weird, but in reality, the meaning can only be found by those who are open to acknowledging they're part of a greater whole instead of insisting we're all individuals who are deeply misunderstood by a selfish society and have to dig or own way out of the shit. Lighten up, allow the centuries of meaning provided by our ancestors adhered to nature to provide meaning to you.

[@dianegabriel3334]

This is lovely, primroses are the first flowers that we were gifted after moving to Hampshire, UK. They are such bright and happy flowers during particularly hard winters, and very hardy. Planted them into the ground in autumn and they survived frost, etc. Beautiful and generous plants, that are not sentimentally important to me as a sign that God provides and is generous with joy from unexpected places.

I love Elizabeth! Watching these shows makes me so nostalgic for Ithaca. I have known 5 or 6 of your fascinating interviewees. Keep it up these are gold!!

[@tulle7358]

I totally agree on that ! 😊

[@FlockFingerLakes]

Glad these are instilling some good memories, even if they are nostalgic!

[@rodcoffey2687]

I've recently found your channel. I am very addicted! I wake each morning settling with my first cup of coffee and relax to your videos. Nearly meditation, I so enjoy observing, learning, and being fascinated. Great work and excellent video production! This video is a fine example. I love that this woman is so emotionally attached to nature and people in her life. I am so glad I found you! thank you.

[@bluebowser3121]

I've cited her book when writing articles before for wikipedia. It was great learning about the writer behind the book.

Love the way you interview… you always bring the best out … actually you make them so much wanted their souls start speaking… your timings are superb you know when to listen at the same time get out the juice by putting a small line of ….

Very special comment. Thank you.

Ms Lawson was extremely interesting. Landscaping was beautiful.

[@chuckciali2027]

We have two sizeable naturalised areas in our farm . People come to see them every spring! They are Japanese candelabra just the same.

[@aalejardin]

What a delightful interview! Elizabeth has inspired me to transplant the run of the mill primulas I bought at the nursery for my spring containers into the garden. It just so happened that the containers get morning light and the primulas are still putting out some blooms. Crossing my fingers that I can coax them along.

[@agnieszkakowalska6352]

what a special person! what a beautiful book! thank you

[@agapeparios6999]

Thank you for a wonderful video - Elizabeth Lawson is enchanting and incredibly knowledgeable - I am just reading her wonderful book, "Primrose" - it is brilliantly written and gorgeously produced. Thanks again for this terrific piece.

[@djsteinmetzart]

I will never get over the production quality of your videos, it is like watching Planet Earth or Discovery. Amazing as always - thank you for producing such engaging and educational content. My favorite part of this episode is the dialogue playing over the timelapse shots of the primrose opening, simply divine.

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

Thanks for sharing. A lovely stroll indeed!

[@subtropical1228]

this looks like a truly magical path 💗

[@lanacameruci4523]

Glorious!!! I enjoy these special tours so much!!!

[@GardenerPhyl]

Summer, you interview the most fascinating people! I enjoyed hearing Elizabeth so much that I’ve ordered her book, Primrose, which may not seem like a big deal, however I’m a foliage loving gardener living in a zone 3b/4a. I appreciate how you never fail to expand my interest.

[@sammijane1640]

How wonderful! Such a Radiant woman :) Thank you for sharing

[@stevehorning3238]

I just ordered primrose seeds for the 1st time. THANK YOU!

Glad you enjoyed Botany Boy!

[@kali-66]

nicely filmed Sander, liked the timelapses

[@sarahg282]

I loved this garden stroll 🥰 so beautiful and full of fascination information

[@ourcozygarden]

For many, love for flowers are indeed “seeds” planted at some point in their lives including us. It could be a parent, relative, neighbors or strangers that has allowed you to get fascinated, starting with a flower or two 😀

[@FlockFingerLakes]

So true. Will never tire hearing peoples' individual stories.

[@oatradia]

I had no idea there was so much to primroses; thank you so much for expanding my world with these videos!

[@aldas3831]

This was charming! Thank you!

[@sharongiles6326]

I love this so so much. She is a treat

[@lipsticklodge7526]

I'm going to try to naturalize some on my lot ..I have an area that has a small natural pond..it gets morning light and afternoon shade..thanks for this episode!

[@JoannaLouise200]

What beautiful collections. Elizabeth is like the Princess of Primroses!

[@chetmyers7041]

Ms Lawson is such a sweet soul.

[@pixlmemory8919]

this is the cutest episode.... aaagghh joy and love to you guys

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

Wow!! Just with this amount of knowledge, I can keep my grocery store primrose alive, just by growing them in my understory. They are absolutely adorable! Thanks so much,

[@mitzi605]

I love primroses. This was eye opening,I will look into this more.

[@ellium1147]

I've got an auricula in a shady rock garden that gets water regularly, but it is, unfortunately, too dry anywhere else over her in Colorado to really keep primulas happy. They are so lovely when they are happy. Thanks for showing the plants, the place and allowing us to meet Elizabeth!

[@FlockFingerLakes]

Never have attempted to grow one, but Elizabeth has definitely piqued our interest too now!

[@deanwiegert3366]

There are at least 3 species of Primula native to Colorado: P. incana, P. parryi and P. angustifolia. Perhaps you might try one of these?

[@charlesbale8376]

I really enjoy your botanical garden strolls with such amazing experts...Please keep adding such videos.

[@barbll000]

I always really enjoy all your videos on both channels. I'm a bit behind in watching so I'm trying to catch up in the winter months when I'm not so busy :)

[@growurown207]

Extremophiles are very cool, thanks for sharing the stroll in the dell

[@naturecare6072]

What a great story teller. She’s amazing and her garden is stunning. Loved it.

[@pierrelipperheide7981]

Wow, they are really beautiful! The color range and the way the spread out naturally, just amazing to see. I need to find me some for our clay-heavy garden :D And what a great little tour, the surrounding looked so peaceful.

[@Katsimagination21]

Elisabeth is such a gem !! Now I NEED to plant Primrose ❤😊

[@bobbirubinstein8462]

Thank you. This was charming. I might try some of these in pots. In the middle of a drought, water rationing in Los Angeles but I love flowers. More walks please.

[@lc9215]

This was so enjoyable thank you! Also watching Elizabeth talk in the woodland area, not far into the video was breathtaking! The light on her with the dark woodland background was so perfect!👌🏻🤩

[@josetrigueros2012]

I've kept one as a houseplant and am excited to plant some outside.

[@extracaliber432]

Well done Liz.

[@rickimoler7158]

Interesting plants...interesting person.

[@marcosgonzales8116]

Thank you

[@jsaysyay]

that's such a wonderful backstory as well as how nice that garden looks, does remind me of this immense plane tree outside of where my late grandmother used to live, i'd been thinking for a couple years now to ask about getting seeds from it

[@alicoat]

What a great video I am not really a flower person but it was fascinating and as I live nearby to the current owners of Barnhaven Primroses it will make me more respective of their work.

[@melissamybubbles6139]

How lovely. Will an audiobook be coming out?

[@noradimagiba1954]

Sweet and lovely, primroses. Thanks for this tour. Wonder if they will grow in the tropics😔

Great video, you got me hooked on primrose I will have to give then a try.

[@sandylee1717]

Who knew? The primrose is such a gem with stupendous colors!

[@nancyleeper3113]

Honored to have received 2 primroses today from a lovely couple who has beautiful gardens near Saratoga. Although, 2 different varieties, I’m anxious to see how they do in my woodland garden near an intermittent stream. Very interesting and informative video! Thank you!

[@tyrenasmith80]

This video made me tear up with sadness and joy. I need to find some to grow in my yard. 😍

[@SallyJ401]

what a wonderful woman.

[@anastasiawak894]

Awwww so pretttttyy! I have a very wet bed and this is a great option. I wish you could see the list of plants I have to pick up at the nursery this fall. Lol.

[@FlockFingerLakes]

Haha. You and me both! These interviews don't make my plant list any shorter either ;)

[@country_zone6b]

great video!!!!!!

[@NickBoileau]

Props to Sander for asking the tough question.

[@christinelarkin8054]

Very enjoyable!

[@banjoboy8802]

Really enjoyed this video, primula's are one of my favourite perennials. I have to say though that the dell just doesn't look natural. All the flowers look so perfect, all in straight lines not a single broken stem. A bit like a stand at the Chelsea Flower Show. London. A plant that self seeds doesn't sow it's seeds in straight lines. That said, the dell looks amazing.

[@melissamybubbles6139]

If I ever have a wildlife pond, will they grow in a pond in arid, windy Colorado?

[@sharongiles6326]

I buy these every year in the early spring , zone 7 and by late June July they are gone. Love them. Help

[@cefcat5733]

Here is an unrelated question. Have you planted any Flock vegetables or have plans for that? I watched a KZbinr sell the idea of different kinds of sweet potatoes, especially one Japanese variety, which is whitish on the outside and purple on the inside. Are they really in the Morning Glory family? Would the deer eat that, too? How is upper NY for veggies? Thanks.

I didn't include the name because I couldn't confirm, but I'm pretty sure it's Lysichiton ‘Crocodile Tears’.

@@FlockFingerLakes I figured that’s why haha. I appreciate you responding ❤️ loving the content so so so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@King_of_carrot_flowers]

I love them. They need acidic soil to do well, unfortunately for me. P. florindae is another great wet-loving one, giant Himalayan cowslip that flowers a little later in early summer

[@olgakuchukov6981]

I got some from a friend and decided not to plant them because they’re highly invasive and are choking out native plants in forests. I had read how the basal rosettes were successful at blocking other plants from growing.

[@gentian54]

You are thinking of evening primrose. They are not related to primroses at all.

[@olgakuchukov6981]

@@gentian54 i am not. Evening primrose is native and I let that go wherever it wants.
