Wall-mounted shelf units called ‘theatres’ were built to protect them from the rain, making an outdoor ‘museum of curiosities’. Plant theatres became popular in Victorian times, often to show off the spectacular markings of dainty auricula primulas, but you can create a plant theatre out of any special plant from alpine bulbs and herbs to pelargoniums, violas and bonsai trees. Their love of auriculas has been passed down through the generations and continues to grow. The theaters can be simple or elaborate, and to this day auriculas have starring roles in flower shows (plant collectors, like Simon Lockyer, win trophies for their auriculas and have dedicated their life to them). Auriculas are much prized alpine plants that have been collected in Europe for hundreds of years. Create a plant ‘theatre’ to show off your collections of choice seasonal treasures at their best.
