The Vernales section of primulas, correctly called section Primula, includes our beloved primrose, cowslip and oxlip, which are usually, but not always, pale yellow. There are also some bright pink species from further afield - not to mention the polyanthus hybrids, with appallingly vivid colours, fortunately kept away from us in municipal plantings in the middles of roundabouts.

Primula 'Mrs Marjorie Banks' is not a name that we can find in any official document, but it appears to be one of the juliana hybrids (formally Primula x pruhoniciana). This group includes the well-known Primula 'Wanda'. Like that, Mrs. Banks makes a low mat, with the lovely clear pink flowers, each with a prominent yellow eye, held up on short stems.
