Comments on: Auriculas Of Spitalfields https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/04/09/auriculas-of-spitalfields/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Wed, 15 Apr 2015 07:00:52 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Ina ten Hove https://spitalfieldslife.com/2015/04/09/auriculas-of-spitalfields/#comment-935364 Wed, 15 Apr 2015 07:00:52 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=132586#comment-935364 Pauline, Actually Patricia Cleveland-Peck did wrote a book about Auriculas! It called “Auriculas through the ages”. Lovely to read and also lovely illustrations from Elisabeth Dowle.
For the cultivation of the Auriculas I would recommand Allan Guest book “The Auricula” a modern book and it describes the more newer variaties.

I’m a collector from Holland they are in my genes too.

Could Patricia Cleveland-Peck be persuaded to write a to the point ‘idiots’ guide for the care of these plants. I have my first five pots coming along nicely, but, where do I go from here? I was surprised GA when you said you had yours on an indoor windowsill. Oh, by the way, I am of huguenot descent – it must be in the genes!

I used to keep several of them some years ago but never seemed to have the right conditions for them to thrive beyond a few years. I decided not to purchase in the end so it was wonderful to see such lovely varieties in this post today. I would like a Thomas Fairchild one though when they become available!

The theater is such a brilliant display idea, and what fascinating history these flowers have. Thank you for sharing all this.

your daily blogs this week have so interesting but I found the story of the auriculas compelling.
I reside in Westen Australia and wonder if the auricula would survive our warmer climate?
I am heading to the East End for a holiday in 2 weeks time and will look out for this little gem.

Best wishes
Colette

I never knew I could be so drawn in by auriculas. Some are so esoteric, like the Cornmeal or Seen A Ghost.
