Dodecatheon conjugens viscidum

Description

Dodecatheon conjugens−Primula conjugens is a thick-rooted perennial with narrow oval-shaped leaves around the base. It erects slim, tall stems which are dark in color and are topped with inflorescences of one to seven showy flowers. The bloom period is April to July. Each flower nods with its mouth pointed to the ground when new, and becomes more erect with age. It has five reflexed sepals in shades of magenta or white which lie back against the body of the flower. At the sepal bases is a ring of bright yellow. From the corolla mouth protrude large dark red or black anthers surrounding a threadlike pink stigma.
