Abschasica Primrose
The story of Abschasica Primrose and the Root Garden goes back to when four seed were given to the garden from a visitor who when to Russia. Of these 4 seed, one germinated and was planted in the garden. It thrived and often bloomed through the spring snows.
The Abschasica Primrose was accidentally removed by aggressive weeding from a student crew but a local gardener, who had cuttings from the original plant, donated plants back to the garden.
