I have a 'Puffin' copy of 'The children of Green Knowe' bought a long time ago and on hunting it out i find that there are some lovely illustrations that look like lino cuts or etchings done by Peter Boston. I wonder if this is Lucy's husband or son? The book is dedicated to her son so i presume her son did the illustrations. Ooh I love these auriculas ,they look gorgeous.

They always seem to have such remarkable color combinations. I don't know much about them, and wonder if over many years more and more colors have been cultivated. Best wishes with prolonging the blooming season for your new acquisitions. I thank you for your appreciation of Lucy Boston. That visit you made to her home also seems to have been remarkable. Cheers. Aren’t auriculas irrisistible? They always seem to have such remarkable color combinations.
