Leitrim Auriculas

Leitrim Auriculas We are growing an extensive collection of Auriculas. Some old some new. Auriculas have been in cultivation for hundreds of years.

In the early years of the 17th century there have been florist shows which included Auriculas. The National Auricula Society was established in 1872 and auriculas still remain popular with collectors and garden enthusiasts far and wide. All the major flower shows still have a section where Auriculas are on display in their glory Theater. It was customary for collectors to have all their favourite Auriculas on display in a purpose built stand that was known as an Auricula Theater.

After losing much of the collection during the freakishly hot summer 2 years ago I am happy to say the collection is growing again and the breeding programme begins again. It will be a long process to get back to where we were at before but an enjoyable process full of surprises hopefully :-)
