| I planted some primula vulgaris earlier in the year and they flowered beautifully. They are flowering again, now, with fewer and much smaller flowers. Should I be worried? Might they be stressed? |

| No, nothing to worry about, it happens sometimes. |

| Thanks for that. They are very pretty so I'll just enjoy the unexpected treat of seeing them twice in one year. |

| Would that be due to early seeds getting an head start as it can with wallflowers sometimes? Come to think of it there are a few flowers/weeds that have a double season. Dandelion for one. (I think.) |

| "Would that be due to early seeds getting an head start" A climatic trigger is more likely. Where I garden in Tasmania the nights are generally quite cool & flowering 'out of season' frequently happens - some things will flower sporadically right through the year. Even lilies will rebloom if they experience a hot dry spell followed by a sudden drop in temperature and a drenching rain. |

| Some of the modern varieties don't seem to know when to stop. I can usually find one little faithful yellow one plugging away under the February sun - and it's smiling up at the big black clouds of early spring right now. |
