Natural Hybridization?

One for the experts. A sunny bank on the way to the wood...I appreciate it's all the same Primula family, but is this a case of natural Hybridization via the Bees and Insects? It's the first time I've seen coloured on this bank
Is that likely Joe?

I have seen it round here as well Saxon, the only explanation I can give is that it is cross pollination leading to hybridization . The ones here are exactly the same colour as the one in your photo.
 
Thanks Joe, that makes sense, as I know there's no human involvement with the Primroses on that bank. :thumbsup:
 
Interesting. I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but has anyone seen those Crows with White Feathers on their wings? I've seen a few this year.
 
I've not seen one this year, but in the past I have. From a distance they could be mistaken for Magpies when you see the white flash. I think that has something to do with pigmentation or lack of and is a form of Albinism in the individual bird rather than cross breeding.
I bet they're a "Twitchers" night mare...What's that???...:rofl: :rofl:
 
Thanks for that info..problem is I feel sorry for the pink Primeose on that bank now. It must feel like a Vegan at a steak eating contest....:rofl:

Perhaps it's just a bloody-minded individualist....I can respect that.

You can't have a bloody-minded individualist called Primrose, surely?
That's like having a heavy weight world champion called Tarquin.......:rofl: :rofl:
