Every time I look at your pictures I need at least half of hour to stop dreaming.... your plants are simply amazing! I can`t imagine you grow such wonderful plants in climate, which is not exactly conducive to such plants. All praise to you indeed! Your terrace and greenhouses are more than paradise!

May I ask you how much time in awerage you given to care you plants?

Good morning. . . (sorry do not have Your name),
that's a compliment, that otherwise get only great artists. I'll tell the plants, they will rejoice.
"To make people dream. . ."
This is more than the Oscar for best film.
1000 thanks! :oops:

Careful, I could burst with pride. . . :)
What will happen to my plants, who will take care of them? :wink:

Projected for the year - an average of two to three hours per day.
The plants on the roof garden of my company. I use my breaks. . . :wink:
When dealing with my plants I find rest. :D :D :D

Really gorgeous photos and plants as usual...I may not comment much, but I sure do look at all your photos!

Is that a mature flower on 85339? Or is it an old dried flower? It looks very interesting!

Good evening Tristan,

the flowers are faded, old dried. I like them even so, still vibrant colors.
They look a little like saffron. . .


Best wishes

P.S. In April, I'm in Tucson, maybe I should come watch your plants. . . ? :oops:

You are welcome any time if you can schedule it. Unfortunately, I live about c. 175km from Tucson.
I know you and James will have a great time - James is an extremely generous and entertaining friend - I know you will enjoy your visit with him!

If u burst K.W I'm sure someone will love to take care of some of your plants... I kno I have a nice little spot for a certain turb. :D lol!!
Finally moved, unpacking Is horrible!!!
Always love browsing through your pictures, glad the kids won't be seeing those lithop pictures for a while hahaha! But by then they'll have their own, I hope they enjoy them and I'm very thankful for everyone's help in getting/attaining them I finally got enough money up to get a bunch for the kids after the first bunch that were donated were killed from who ever vandalized the greenhouse :( - but it will all be worth the hard effort in the end thanks to everyone's help, support and well wishes!
I can only hope someday the greenhouse will be filled like yours with amazing plants of all types for kids to enjoy long after the kids in my program now go on into the world of adulthood and start their own collections as they pass the knowledge I've given to them and collected from all of you on here, to others that are interested in plants!

MR. K.W always a pleasure to take a break from my day and stop to try to smell the flowers thru my phone lol :D
