Re: What are these flowers called? I'm an enthusiast.
Auricula Straightforward they came from alpine districts originally they are pretty frost hardy but do not like too much heat and have to be moved under cover or heavily shaded in a greenhouse. The farina which is attractive in the winter is a bit of a nuisance as it spoils the flower. They are usually grown in small pots in gritty compost and they really need a child minder.

Re: Taps
They are becoming more popular over here as the climate suits, very hot no good.
Of course people treat gardening as a hobby these days, my Aunt had a council house and enough land attached to feed a family of six.

Re: I would be proud to grow it...it's just lovely.
I wish you could Kabu, but the weavers kept them in their little front gardens and I suppose took a break from the loom, to tend them, some people even had a favorite plant buried with them, but I can't see the point in that.

I had to post this one today because I had to treat the plants for the dreaded Vine weevil.
This must have been a seedling, because it has no definite form, but it looks quite nice and is a strong grower, one that might be seen in a cottage garden. Hope to resume again tomorrow.
