Enjoyed those Giles. Takes me back a bit to my Auricula growing days, the NAPS Shows were a must for me in those days.

All good plants but how pretty is 'Geronimo'? What a  great colour.
The striped auricula just puts me in mind of a glorious Rory McEwan painting.  8)

The blue primrose types do it for me, especially 'Barnhaven Blue' but that first marginata form has fantastic foliage, really spiky. Thanks for sharing these Giles, a great selection.

Love Geronimo.  My Scorcher is just coming out, slightly lighter shade but beautiful.  I'll post once it comes out completely.
