Originally tiny alpine mountain plants, auriculas made their way to this country via Huguenot weavers arriving in Norwich and Spitalfields in the 16th century. Jane-Ann grows over 500 of these delicate, heart-stopping flowers which she displays in \"auricula theatres.\" Each frilly nosegay of flowers is held on a straight stem above a rosette of often farina-covered leaves in its own terracotta pot. Join us on a tour of Jane-Ann's four-acre plot in deepest Norfolk to discover the unique history of these plants and learn from the mistakes of a committed expert.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/YUs10XaMCvwfqT96-BtyCGHWA_oGM14FR53b0Mu6pSU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lNmU2/ZjI5MTE2MzNjOTRm/MzIxNTlhOTE3NmJl/ZDdhMy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
