Wow! Love your rock mountain of spinies. It is so nice to see potted cacti displayed in something other than long, tabled rows -- making the whole more intersting than the individual.
My cactus must be gods. They demand blood sacrifice.

I love your rock display as well. A nice showing. You have a heater in the greenhouse for the really cold days/nights so everything should be fine. Nice collection!

I really loved your outdoor feature. Really was quite spectacular and the plants look great. Then bam ! A red flower.

Your collage of Cacti flowers is really nice. I wouldn't mind doing something like that myself. How can a person looking at something like that not want to there and then, go out and get themselves a cactus. If they can put on a show like that. People don't know what they are missing out on, but we do.

And then then the snow and ice comes in =^~^= brrr.

Very nice rock compositions you have! Great design and implementation!

What is the temperature inside your GH in such weather? It looks like it's a single layered plastic that covers it... Is it enough to with stand such a winter?

These days there is about 5 degrees Celsius through the night and above 7 or through the day. And he heather inside is on minimum stage. Altough here everything is under ice, there is only about zero degrees celsius outside. If there is at least a bit of sun, temerature inside can grow up to 25 degrees celsium.
GH is covered with UV PVC film, indoor there is like a smaller GH with another layer of bubble film. This winter here weren`t any low temperateure like they used to be, so till now everything looks ok. What I am worry about is humidity and I am afraid till summer there will be many losses ...

A word starting with "F" and all other similar words were heard at my house during this afternoon, although I am a lady.... #-o

Well, my GH is about ok now, a few more meters of ribbon decorate it .... I only hope there won`t be too much losses in heating....
