I can feel another addiction coming on..........

Nice addiction DD

Lovely pics....
.. the theatre will allow them to put on a wonderful performance ;o)

Real little stars, DD2.

When I see them through your stunning close-ups, I'm not at all surprised that they could be addictive. :-))

Beautiful. The deep purple one is stunning.

gorgeous flowers.

lovely!

My freebies are in bud - I hope they come out like these!

I also like them. Thete's a garden centre not very far from here where they sell them and I'll have to go soon.

I agree - beautiful flowers and lovely pics!!

Thanks very much for all your kind comments, glad you enjoyed looking at them, lets hope we will be able to grow them, I think they can be tricky..........

There's a very comprehensive guide at: http://www.wilkin94.fsnet.co.uk/auriculaculture.html
Fabulous photos on the site too!

Wagger thanks for that info......

AFter three years of largely ignoring mine and hoping for the best, I've made a resolution this year to look after them properly.... and three weeks after starting feeding them with half strength tomato fertiliser they look about 300% bigger and beefier and are producing buds like mad. Not as advanced as yours though and I hope mine are as pretty as yours.

Please do post some pics on would love to see them, we have slit ours, so they are much smaller, also we lost a few over the last couple of bad winters...
