Pat and Robin Fisher would like to say a great thanks to Geoff Nicolle, the previous Border Auricula Collection Holder for the supply of the gorgeous "Old Fashioned" Border Auricula. The plant came to him by way of Maedythe Martin of the American Primrose Society, April Boettgar, another American member insisted that Geoff should have this plant so arrangements were made to transport "Old Fashioned" from the Americas. We understand that "Old Fashioned" had not been shown in Britain before and we were proud to receive a first for her at the Knowle Auricula Show this year. "Old Fashioned" is not one of Pat and Robin's children but an offspring bred by the famous primula grower Herb Dixon in the late 1950's or early 60's.  "Old Fashioned" |

It is will regret that Pat and Robin will no longer display auriculas and other plants at The National Botanical Garden of Wales, the Auricula Theatre has now been removed. "The National Collection of Border Auriculas" can be seen by appointment at Blaencwm Cottage, Foelgastell, Carmarthenshire. Pat and Robin plan a series of Open Days at their home in 2010 during April and May. For further details e-mail robpat.4@btopenworld.com |

At their November 2008 meeting, the Committee decided to instigate a number of new classes aimed towards those members who grow all types of Auricula without specialising in any one kind. The trial run will commence in the coming 2009 season. If it is successful, the classes will be added to future schedules. If you fancy trying your hand at showing a few plants, this may be a good place to start. Pictures illustrate how some of the groups may look. SECTION 9 – COMBINED AURICULAS All classes will be judged to Florist’s standards. Plants may be staged in any order. Points will be awarded according to the standard system and will count towards the overall aggregate for each exhibitor but not towards totals inside any other section. Open Classes | ||
