Format:Paperback
This is an ideal book for somebody just starting out on the pursuit of the perfect flower.It gives a basic insight into the origins of the Auricula and also very good sections on keeping healthy plants and how to propagate the plants to increase your stock.Overall a very well writen book with some very nice pictures of some of the more popular Auricula varieties.
Format:Paperback
Without doubt well-written and concise, but not up to date and shows plants which are still almost impossible to come by. There are other, far more comprehensive books around for those just beginning to grow auriculas in particular, and more user-friendly.
