Auriculas are currently enjoying a huge revival, and interest in their cultivation and appreciation of their delicacy and charm are increasing. These hardy plants - for despite their appearance, auriculas do not appreciate warm, sunny conditions - are problably derived from "primula pubescens", and they are thought to have been introduced to Britain by refugees from Europe in the late 16th century.
