I'm going to build myself a theater. A theater for my Auriculas. I love to design and build all kind of things in wood and when I saw this Auricula Theater in Gothenburg last summer I just fell in love with it. In this picture you can see that is not Auriculas that are on display, I think there where Geraniums actually and that works excellent too don't you think? Perhaps I shall just call it a Plant Theater instead.
...
I can imagine it would look great with just green plants too. Hedera, Sedums and Sempervivums to mention a few.
What do you think isn't just lovely?

Den här underbart söta lilla teatern för Auriculas såg jag förra sommaren på ett besök hos Trädgårdsföreningen. Trädgårdsföreningen i Göteborg Jag blev helt kär i den och nu har jag bestämt att en sådan får det bli. Då har jag alltså spikat hihi ett litet snickeriprojekt för 2009.

It is Blooming Friday and you find more blooming wonderful posts here at Katarinas Roses and stuff. It is funny I have the Theater and Katarina has got the Prima Ballerina, Primula 'Ballerina'

I wish you all a sunny great weekend!
Don't be a stranger my friend...do write something.

I love this. Consider some low level lighting ad slope the shelves very slightly so water runs off them.
It is most charming and will look great in your garden.
Perfect, thank you Hermes for the good adwise.

Hi Tina, yes I think so too, perhaps I'll make an indoor one as well! :-)
xoxo Tyra
Underbar teater både för aurikler och pelargoner. Kul att du ska bygga en, jag hade gärna haft en jag med (som komplement till min pelargontrappa). Trevlig helg!
Kram Karin
Men Tyra, en teater ska väl ändå ha en primadonna!! Då blir det väl en orkidé, om jag känner dig rätt. Angående namnfrågan: "Tyras Teater" låter annars ganska bra, tycker jag!! Trevlig helg! /Ruben
Hi Tyra. How unusual, I wouldn't have thought to call it a theater but it is. What a great idea. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Marnie
What a creative idea Tyra! I'm looking forward to seeing what creative touches you'll add to your theatre! Have a wonderful weekend!
Karin, Pelargontrappa är ju superläckert också, den kan du väl visa upp igen?
Ruben inte en TT till. :-)
Vilken fin idé Orkidéer hm...läckert!
Tyra
Marnie,
the actual name 'Theater' wasn't anything I made up :-)
I rather like it, it make sense. Showing something 'Fancy on stage'.
Hi Linda and thank you for your comment and yes that is the fun part 'the creative touches'.
Have a great weekend my friend/ Tyra
Ooh, I like that - something like a Japanese tokonoma - a very special place to display flowers!
Hej Tyra!
Tack för din oerhört fina kommentaren hos mig.Den värmer.
jag älskar ditt växthus och kan inte se mig mätt på det.
Eftersom vi inte är händig så blev det ett mer underhållsfritt växthus.
Fast helts av allt skulle jag vilja ha ett sådant som du har.
men men...
Ja du en sådan teater skulle jag vilja ha men som sagt.. är man inte händig så blir det inget med det.
ha det gott och trevlig Helg
Annika
Vilket fint sätt att exponera sina växter - och ett alldeles lagom stort snickeriprojekt. =)
Ha en trevlig helg
Helen
... and you design and build with wood too! Your talents never cease to amaze me, dear friend! Anxious to see who will be starring in your theater. Wishing you a beautiful weekend :)
Vacker blomma och vacker idé
Åh, Tyra - den teatern vill jag gärna ha till min ballerina! Skulle vara alldeles perfekt! Blir faktiskt riktigt sugen på att börja snickra...
Ha en riktigt skön helg!
Katarina
hej
vilken fin teater. Primulans färg är som sammet...
Lycka till med bygget.
hälsningar

I saw one of these a few years ago full of auriculas and it looked most effective Tyra. I would love one to display my pots of snowdrops :) Have a great weekend !
Tyra, A wonderful and dramatic element for your garden...can't wait to see it built and made your own...gail
Fin teater, ha det gott på landet (vi är där jämnt :)
Kram.
Hi Tyra - I have been coverting one of these for a couple of years now but couldnt afford them. However now my son is doing joinery I hope he might make me one. I think they were originally designed for Auriclas which are traditionally displayed against a black background but I think anything that has sufficently bright flowers or leaves would look lovely. Looking forward to an update on your project
How lovely! I´m full of ideas of different projects, but the hammer isn't my best friend. Wish I could build a theater like this. I'll check in at your blogg again eagerly waiting for the projects to materialize!
Det är verkligen fint med såna aurikelteatrar.
För min del hade det nog fått bli suckulenter, för jag glömmer alltid att vattna :/
Hade dock gärna haft den full med aurikler.
Lova att visa bilder när du har byggt klart.
Ha en skön söndag!
Kram Mari i Marieholm
Tjusigt värre, och ett trevligt projekt! Förmodligen är det ett bra ställen att ha fuchsior på eftersom det inte blir sådär skarpt ljus uppifrån. Fint dessutom om de hänger ner över kanten... :-)
Visst är den fin! Jag hade förmånen att se flera liknande vid olika trädgårdsbesök förra sommaren så att jag har redan börjar förbereda mig...!
mvh, Anja
How beautiful - that would be my dream, an auricula theatre. This year I'm hoping to get to the Abriachan Garden Nursery beside Loch Ness (yes, the one with the monster), where they have an auricula theatre.

What an apt name! After all it will be a beautiful and dramatic display! And to think that you work with wood too Tyra. You're so talented!
Ohhh that is going to be so very cool...I can't wait to see it done! Kim
What a fun project, Tyra! I guess gardens make the gardener creative.
Hello Dear Tyra.....
A plant theatre..... what a splendid project, this is something that I would like too, I have always admired pictures I’ve seen in magazines where auricula theatres have been featured. But yes, you are right, it will work for any plant, particularly if you choose well a complimentary colour in which to paint the theatre. Look forward to seeing your creation. Have a good week. - Marion
What a great way to put your flowers on show - in a theatre!
I love the plant theater idea, but have one problem. In my garden, I'm the one who does all the drama. My plants are expected not to upstage me unless it's to exceed my expectations, and then I can get all theatrical about thanking them.
pretty showcase!
Look at the color on that Primula! I really do need more of these!
I am truly envious of your wood working knowledge Tyra. The theatre will be beautiful. What a fabulous addition to your already gorgeous garden. I like to create garden vignettes and this theatre would be great for that. Keep us posted and show us the results!!
Auricula Theatres are such a great way to show off what is one of my favourite wee flowers.
Ours are looking stunning this year, hope yours are too, Cat
