Auriculas at Kew

IMG_4311

Auriculas on sale at Kew Gardens – not in their little plant centre but right by the exit. How Fiendish! I don’t think they have had them in stock for a couple of years and if I remember rightly, they were selling them last with Victorian terracotta pots, at £10 or more. Now they are just £7 and members get a 10% discount. Bargain!

I’ve potted them up in my own little terracotta pots and must think of creating a permanent home for them. Obviously I have labelled them individually in their respective pots!

    1. Hi there, well now I don’t know about that.Both the shipping and import rules. You might enquire of Woottens of Wenhaston who have a great collection and may direct you to the right resource. Happy hunting, Martin
