Truth? I have an unmatched pair of old wall clocks in the attic, innards long gone, both a prime theatre for a single plant, Primula Auricula Theatre. 2008 broke that business model.Īnother demand I make from my garden? Being the gardener, above, some spring soon, with 10-15 little pots of mixed Auriculas grown from seed. My era? Family owned independent garden centers were plentiful across USA with myriad specialty plants readily/easily available.

It is painted black on the inside to really showcase the colour of the Primulas when they are in bloom. Mixed Auriculas, below, more than pretty, they make a statement about the state of nurseries now, vs. Perhaps just a tray for Auricula Theatre, above, or cupcake stand, below. Photos submitted to all the big & local papers, of course.
Could have done several over-the-top Auricula Theatre's.

Once the current display is over, swap in more seasonal plants as they reach their peak for an ever-changing and beautiful drama on your doorstep.Gardening? Which sort are you? Me? Fun, little care, gorgeous, you-must-come-to-lunch-in-my-conservatory, fragrant, a proscenium for life, of the ages perfections, etc. Potted primulas and auriculas make attractive, although short-lived, flowering houseplants too, but they do prefer a cooler spot.

Make your ‘shelves‘ from wooden greenhouse staging, wooden planks or even a wooden stepladder. Raise your plant collection on shelves and you can better appreciate their charms at eye level, without having to stoop to see them properly. Plant theatres became popular in Victorian times, often to show off the spectacular markings of dainty auricula primulas, but you can create a plant theatre out of any special plant from alpine bulbs and herbs to pelargoniums, violas and bonsai trees. Create a plant ‘theatre’ to show off your collections of choice seasonal treasures at their best.
