Allotments 4 All

Just wanted to show you my little darlings  :)  So proud of them! Always wanted to grow these beautiful flowers - been fussing over tiny offsets since last autumn and these are the first three to flower.



Hope you like them too.  :)

they are the bonniest wee things.  i like the top one - very smart !

congratulations on your first borns  ;D

I forgot about mine in the cold frame and when I noticed them I found the plants were decidedly 'tatty' have re-potted them and brought them in to warmer climes!

So hopefully I might a few flowers soon!

waw! I've got an auricula, but it's nowhere near as nice as those! It's got about 12 flowers all on one stem now, and is looking a bit too showy! Do you think they'd produce quality plants if they were grown from seed??

oh yeah, and how many pixels is your camera? mines 3mil i think, so if I try and take a picture that close up, it simply makes it look like a baby's painting!

MrsKP - Thanks!  :-* First 'green baby' due any moment! Will post pic in the Gallery - (which is probably where I should have put these!   :-[)

Tee Gee - Mine have been in an unheated greenhouse with the doors & all the louvres wide open since I got them last autumn. I'm sure yours, having been kept cool and out of the rain, will be fine. Are they named varieties? Pics, please, when they bloom?  :)

PFP - The named varieties only come true to type from offsets - (vegetative propagation). New varieties obviously have to come from seed through selective breeding - (over a period of time and by primula auricula experts!!!)   :)
Camera is 5.1 mega pixels. I'm still learning how to use it - inspired by many of the lovely pics on this site!  ;)

I really love unusual plants. Yours are lovely Granma. I grew some streptocarpus a few years ago and they were lovely but eventually lost them all. I may see if I can get some more on the web somewhere. They are handy for growing in the GH when all else is gone out in the garden
