These are considered by many to be the most choice of the Show Auriculas - grown well the Edges have an almost unreal perfection. They should be protected from the rain - it spoils their looks...
As with all Show Auriculas, each individual flower has a ring of farina or 'paste' around a bright yellow tube at its centre.
On the greens the main part of the petal is generally black, with a green outside edge. The whites and greys have the same edge and black petal or 'body ' colour, but with a dusting of farina which also extends to the foliage. The thicker the farina, the whiter the flower.
All plants listed here can be purchased now, and new ones are added at regular intervals. |
