Auricula Seeds Wanted
« on: April 04, 2008, 05:36:34 PM »
I'm searcing for seeds from the different Show Auriculas.

Earlier I've got them from Field House Alpines, but I think they have shut down the nursery.

If someone have seeds, or can tell me an adress to a supplier, I'll be happy.

Field House Nursery is still in operation, one of the partners, Doug Lockhead, died last year, but the other partner, Val Woolley, continues to run the business. She does not have a Web Site but can be contacted by Email at info@field-house-alpines.fsbusiness.co.uk or by telephone at 01159830278 (add the UK code from Norway) or by Fax at 01159831486.

If you have any difficulty let me know by PM and I will make contact for you.

Show Auricula seed can be purchased from the various regional primula and auricula societies,but I think you have to be a member (membership fees are
quite modest).
The Midland and West Division has a website: auriculaandprimula.org.uk
as does the Northern Section: auriculas.org.uk
there is a Southern Section too, but can't find whether they have a website or not.

I sent Field House Alpine some stamps for a catologue about a month ago, and they sent their catalogues by return of post.
They had about 20 different strains of Auricula seed on offer.
They didn't have any of the primulas that I wanted, so
I could easily just send you my copy of the catalogue, if you like. It might be easier.

ps. Looking at the above posts, it looks as though you are using the wrong Email address anyway. The catalogues I received have the address:  val.woolley@btinternet.com
Depending what you call 'show'auriculas, they list:
1. Blue Selfs.
2. Red Selfs
3. Show Selfs Mixed
4. Show Stripes Mixed
5. Show Fancies Mixed
6. Picotees

If you include 'Alpines'
They have: Blue Alpines; Brown and Orange Alpines; Pink Alpines; Red Alpines; Gold Alpines; Purple Alpines.

Regarding Border Auriculas, they have 5 different seed strains, but I presume it's not these you're after.

All seed £2 per packet.

If you are totally stuck, and don't mind waiting, I'll be up that way sometime before Christmas, and could get it myself and post it to you.
