What a lovely show. You must be really pleased after all the snow. Mine haven't started yet, but they are starting to bud. Can't expect miracles yet at this height. [-X Spring has definitely sprung though so should have some flowers in the not too distant future. \:D/ Susi

Oh dear! I really feel for you, how frustrating. Makes me feel quite guilty as here we seem to have winter well behind us now. It was a very severe February, but at least Spring seems to have arrived on cue. These could be famous last words though, who knows ? :-k I hope it soon passes and you can g...

Really breathtaking! Did they actually all bloom together?
Susi

Beautiful!

I have one of these myself and I think it is a Deuterocohnia Brevifolia. Have not seen the flowers which I think are green if my ID is correct. Hope someone else confirms this for you as I am also a novice in training (who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?) :lol: Susi

Whatever the differences, they are all gorgeous!

What memories! How many times did we sit watching these cartoons with our children and then our grandchildren. Brilliant!

:hal I think it's time that you and Hob have a well deserved break, put your feet up and an even more well deserved drink. Many thanks for getting everything back together, I was getting quite desperate, didn't realize how much time I passed on here until it was gone, tried other sites but it just w...

Very nice =D> it's going to look great, and you will get so much pleasure from your efforts for years to come. We have been converting an old botch-up job of a greenhouse that's been deteriorating on us for the last 9-10 yrs. Will post my photos within the next week when by then it should be finishe...

Nice plants, really enjoyed looking at them. Thanks for sharing them with us.

That spinosissima is so cute, I love it! A beautiful collection, and really well photographed. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks all! Hi Susi, sorry for the plants :( As a matter of fact there is no need to heat here in Rome. Given the climate we have, most of the plants I am growing would require some air conditioning rather than a heater. That is why I am not familiar with those small Parasene heaters you are lookin...
