Hello sleepy, nice to see you back. I've been trying to keep them happy but my humours not up to your standard.
Right - cacti and succulents in the greenhouses:-
first pic shows Agave americana v. variegata in the background and another in the foreground.
Next has Aloe ferox in foreground, Cereus and Espostoa behind (tall ones), money plant on right foreground.
Next has Aloe Ferox again with Yucca in front
Next is Spanish moss - Tillandsia something or the other.
Further down, the pink flowers a bit like bluebells are Lachenalia I think.
Hibiscus at the bottom.

looks like a lovely day, I'll have to have a good read later.  The camellias look lovely, but whenever I see them in gardens, they always appear as a more rounded bush. Is that variety/ age or pruning? I much prefer the look of these. they look like ramblers. You might find Winter aconites listed under their latin name Eranthis as well Ali. I like them too, but not a big fan of yellow, wish they came in other colours. Great pics btw! Thanks Rita and Jonah It was a lovely day Although very cold. Jonah any colour in my garden at the mo is fine with me. My garden is like FA's in winter not much colour to look at until the daffs flower then it's a riot. - Time to spend some money I think. As for the Camellia's I don't know. They have probably been there a long time and left to their own devices I should imagine. I'm sure sleepy probably knows. How are you keeping? |

Is dialectic materialism talking about everything you own but in different languages?

Another GH? Just because your OH buys rusting heaps 13 at a time doesn't mean you have to do the same with GH's!!
Here! While they're pulling the front of your house about why don't you attach all your GH's in a line down your front garden? A walk through indoor gardening experience from the deserts of Mexico (Mick's succulents - ooer Mrs), to the herbaceous border seedling stage to a wonderland of vegetables.....you could charge! (Just remember to label everything). ;D
