What are the best types of auricula?
Although the alpine auriculas are generally robust enough to grow in borders, Luci and Gillian believe both show and alpine auricula types are best grown in individual pots, and perhaps displayed in a traditional Auricula Theatre, where the vast array of different flowers in wonderful colours can be fully appreciated. In the open ground – border and alpine auriculas Plant into any well-drained soil in a shaded position where the soil doesn’t dry out in summer. It is possible to improve your soil or create a rock garden if your soil is heavier and not so well-drained.All but the border types dislike wet on their foliage so overwinter in the shelter of an unheated greenhouse or alpine house. In summer keep auriculas shaded, although, if there is enough moisture at their roots, the border types will tolerate sun.
What is the auricula made of?
The auricle, or pinna, is the visible, external part of the ear that plays a key role in capturing and directing sound waves into the external auditory canal. The auricle is made up of elastic fibrocartilage covered by skin, except for the lobule, which contains no cartilage. The auricle, in terms of anatomy, is part of the so-called external ear, which is the outermost part of the ear. The external ear consists of the auricle or pinna and the external auditory canal. The auricle acts as a large funnel that collects sounds and directs them towards the middle and inner ear.Auricle is defined as the external part of the ear, characterized by its three-dimensional shape that reflects the underlying elastic cartilage framework, featuring components such as the helix, anti-helix, conchal complex, and lobule.Ear reconstruction is surgery to repair or rebuild the external part of the ear, called the auricle or pinna. This surgery may be done to correct an irregularity of the outer ear that is present at birth (congenital defect).An ear malformation (missing portions of the ear) is typically surgically corrected after 4 years old — or even later, depending on the type of surgery that is best in each situation. In contrast, an ear deformation (abnormal folding) can possibly be addressed nonsurgically before 6 weeks of life.
