The Plants We Grow
Auriculas are members of the
Genus Primula which is a large
family of plants comprising over 425 species and many thousands of hybrids.
The auricula first appeared in European gardens around
the middle of the sixteenth century. The cultivated forms which we grow today
have been developed for over 350 years as Florist Flowers. The word
florist, used in this sense, refers to a gardener who grows and raises plants
to agreed standards. The use of the word to mean a flower seller is a
relatively recent development.
The different types comprise Show, Alpine, Double and
Border auriculas. Show types include green and grey edged,
selfs, stripes and fancies. Alpines are either gold-centred or
light-centred.
In addition we also grow the gold-laced polyanthus, the
only member of the primrose family grown to florists' standards.
Although originally formed purely to grow auriculas and
gold-laced polyanthus the three independent sections of the Society, all based
in England, cover the whole range of primula species and hybrids including
such popular plants as primroses and polyanthus.
