After mentioning this plant to a dear friend I acquired three more. It turns out her garden has a spot with perfect conditions to grow auriculas. So my extra three (if I don't kill them) will be a surprise colour. Shall I show you my dream?
Following on from my obsession with blackboard paint, an ideas was born.
A little fine tuning will be needed - no zig zag edges on the next batch, don't do the sticking on of stickers on a windy day, don't start just before tea time, etc. So the finished pot will just need some gravel then the plant can go in. Do you want a look at a 'work in progress'. Next time a nice rectangular box ready for plant name
Oh how funny. I bought myself a few early in the eyar and I'm just wondering if they'll survive the winter. I didn'y know if I should split them, deadhead them or what after flowering. I've got them high up away from the ground and the slugs but still they have holes in them. I live in a very windy spot. My garden was a total desert this summer apart form a lot of strawberries ..which were all eaten by slugs the minute they looked red.
ReplyDeleteHi, just stumbled on your blog and had to comment - one of my dreams too! I have a small collection but would love a big display like that : )
