Beautiful construction! Great idea leaving one side open for fresh air. It should provide many years of exciting, successful growing.

Thanks fanaticactus!

I have an Orystachys spinosa which has developed a huge terminal flower spike over the past few months. This week, the flowers finally opened and they're surprisingly delicate.

That's an incredible spike! There are so many odd succulents I'm not familiar with, so I like seeing photos of them.

It's now winter in Australia and most of the plants in my greenhouse have entered dormancy. With care required, I have taken the opportunity to reorganise the space with a view to greater efficiency.

Here are some photos showing the current state of the greenhouse. Ample space remains for the hundreds of seedlings that are still growing under lights under the house.

The show, in order:
- the overall space
- grafted plants and some more mature plants
- seedlings
- haworthias (mature and seedlings)
