Mojmir's collections from the Bucegi Mtns in Romania at 2300m minima is the smallest member of the auricula section it can form yard wide mats in the wild, the pink flowers nearly as large as the rosettes, in cultivation it tends to be finicky, I can't imagine a yard wide patch, I'd be happy if it would fill a pot.
