Synopsis

Their delicate, porcelain-like beauty, their exotic perfumes, and their many shades of greens, grays, reds, and purples have created the impression that auriculas are difficult to grow and fickle to show. But now even inexperienced growers can master the art of raising auriculas as this complete guide takes you through every step of their care and cultivation. Brilliant full-color photos display dozens of exhibit-quality arrangements. Start by growing the easiest types, then move up to the ones that earned the reputation for high-maintenance care, then create stunning originals that reflect your unique choices of bloom colors and edges, leaf styles and shapes, and seasonal variety.

About this title

From Booklist:

The auricula's origins go back to the mountainous regions of Europe; today's hybrids are the result of many years of crossbreeding. The color and form of the leaves are as diverse as those of the flowers. The paperback contains 83 color photographs of these exotic plants, along with a brief description of each plant. Hyatt explains the types of auriculas and gives advice on their cultivation, propagation, breeding, and pests and diseases. She offers a list of recommended varieties suitable for both the beginner and the expert, as well as a guideline for exhibitors. There are a total of 100 color photos and 10 black-and-white illustrations. George Cohen
