Mine are almost finished, a zone or two warmer than you. While show auriculas are hard to fine (Wrightman is one source), they actually do make good garden plants. The only reason to grow them under cover (I haven't found they do well indoors) is to protect the farina (e.g. that white ring on 'Chorister') from rain, which will spatter or smear it. Not a huge concern unless you want to enter the plant in a show. I have some pictures of my auriculas on my blog - and more to come soon: http://theplantsigrow.wordpress.com/kvbkhttp://theplantsigrow.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-55530306820644168312012-05-29T20:02:03.684-07:002012-05-29T20:02:03.684-07:00That soft yellow of your unknown, but beautifully ...That soft yellow of your unknown, but beautifully scented, primula would combine well with so many spring flowers.Northern Shadehttp://northernshade.ca/noreply@blogger.com
