I have in the past read about an international species of annual, Primusiocus Aprillis, which blossoms in many countries around the world at the same time and some people have had great success with in the UK.
They have a short season but can be elaborate and colourful although taste is said to be variable and sometimes difficult to swallow.
Can be grown from small gemlike seed, many successful examples have been as a result of hard graft on corn although conditions apparently have to be just right to be successful.
Does anyone have any experience or maybe even know of a reputable UK source

Hi Pa Snip,
Have you got the correct spelling of Primusiocus Aprillis?
Appears to be unknown with this spelling.
Sincerely,
JB.

Great to see you back Johnboy.

The new name is Ludificor primiaprilius

Thanks for going to the effort of looking it up and taking time out to reply.

Breaking the Latin Primusiocus Aprillis down to a rough translation may give the clue

Primus:- First
Iocus:- Joke
Aprillis:- April

I'm afraid I made the whole thing up and was careful about posting it just before midnight so the date didn't give away the post.

Well spotted

Nice one Pa Snip. i do love a good chuckle.

Well done Pa Snip!
In RAF language I lead with my chin and got it well and truly thumped.
You cannot see me but I have a very big grin on my face and will be giggling most of the morning.
Well done! I haven't been caught out for many moons.
Sincerely,
JB.

Glad it raised a smile and was taken in good spirit.
