Not worried about the "wimpy" 50mph winds. It's the hurricane force gusts we can get during thunderstorms that worry me. Not to mention the real thing... but if a hurricane was coming straight at us I'd probably take it down...

Or at least point a web cam on it.

Gosh, even after the Winter of Cacti Death, I have more than I remembered!

And that doesn't count the opuntioids....I hope I have room for my Euphorbias!

I'm looking forward to seeing your Euphorbias! I am very fond of those plants.

heh,
I dont know about in Florida, cause that is like the thunderstorm capital of the world, but in AZ and Oh we had the worst straight line winds from storms. PA has some bad storms but not as bad as here or Ohio. I get nervous about my plants being outside here!

As for the amount of cacti you have, your collection is huge compared to mine. I have a small amount in pots, however outside my collection is growing rapidly!

And one thing to note: my collection of succulents (not cacti) is creeping up rapidly as well. I have 7 or 8 Agave (in the tray) and I found an aloe someone dropped on the ground so I gained another one!

Hard to beat the sight of a greenhouse bench filled with cactus!

Maybe you should buy another crappy greenhouse just to be on the safe side Robert.

Plants look real happy now.

Look closer....every day or so I pull another one that didn't like being frozen! Today it was Stenocereus pruinosus, probably soon Ferocactus glaucescens, Mamm. bombycina, Cleistocactus straussii and Oreocereus celsianus/trollii.

But on the upside, they're all common species!
