Auricula arrives at corseside!!

any auricula advice would be gladly received :-)

I don't know anything about auriculas, but I enjoyed your blog! Looks like you're going to be very busy!

There is an Auricular Society. I knew a man once who was potty about them. He wore the badge in his lapel just to see how many people knew what it was. Its just an Auricula flower, without any words.
There is always a stand at Chelsea.

lol Louisa i was researching for hours last night....
thanks Diane would love to go to chelsea one day...

Ah lovely new hobby there, with hopefully lots of sales for you soon. Everything looks to be growing so well. Hope you have a great year. :O)

You had to water??? LOL...pardon. how fast it goes from one extreme to the other these days. Everything looks great, Sandra. Sigh. will do some looking up on the auriculas. Sad for the lady who had to adopt them out...but great for you. A new interest always makes life happier.
we just got dumped on..another 2 ft of snow and snow banks 6 feet high. grrrr....looks like Feb. and March got switched. Today is supposed to be warmer thank goodness. Maple tree tapping time soon.

thanks Olive first market on sunday..:-)

oh dear Loru 2 foot...that would put the uk on stop for a month..u guys deal with it so much better. 13 degrees here today after a frosty start. hope u melt soon..xx

Hope you got a good price on the Auriculas Sandra,,..ha ha.Got to make a profit!! tomatoes looking very good!!

lovely collection of plants, always exciting to see them in trays like that. Imagine them all in flower !

me too Bampy...
Paul...i've been to the garden centre today to check out the competition. on a purely professional mission of course...no purchases to be made of course.....didnt count on the addiction to kick in....now have 4 stunning large indoor cyclamen and a dozen primroses. the cyclamen were finishing flowering so they were reduced to 1 pound each. they are quite large plants and now i have dead headed them i can see loads more buds coming. the worse thing is i didn't find any auricula and will now have to force myself to enter another den of temptation. all in the interest of research of course..lol

You could always leave your purse at home Sandra.....;)

Those cyclamen sound like a good bargain, hope they reward your care with lots of flowers.

My goodness Sandra, you are going to be busy! I've not come across Auriculas before I'm ashamed to admit, but I will be looking out for them in future.

i have to take my purse Louisa what if i need to spend a penny..lol

i have been admiring them from afar Waddy.. can't wait for the flowers now..:-)

Busy busy busy. You're working hard Sandra. Haven't your toms germinated quickly, your under-floor heating is working well. Would'nt it be nice if potting on compost was free, sigh. Or any compost ..

We do grow some Auriculas but not the specialist kind, they have stood the winter well, OH is very fond of them, wanted to build a theatre for them.....another string to your bow Sandra.....
Your toms do look healthy.

i'm delighted with the germination ..and all growing well now. Dawn. compost is so expensive...as is pots..i cant get over the price of pots...

where do you keep them in the winter Dotty? could you get your OH to make 2 theatres while hes at it...lol

Exciting times :o)

Ha ha....u'll never be rich like that Sandra...but u'll have some great plants!!!!!

Sandra we keep them outside but away from the wet, they do alright in the cold.... I could ask lol!!

Had a few probs with Goy lately Sandra so working backwards, lol, busy/busy goings on at your place and coming along nicely as well, I do like auricula's, hope they do well for you...

u been having problems too Lincs?...i kept getting an oops message..i was stressing thinking all my goy friends had gone forever....seems i just had to turn my laptop off properly and start it up again....silly me...lol
