Re: Huge collection of fabulous cacti in Shropshire
A very merry Christmas to you, too. That greenhouse looks cosy with all the snow packed round it, good insulation.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Re: Huge collection of fabulous cacti in Shropshire
That greenhouse must be well insulated - I don't see signs of melting on the roof.
And it will be fairly dark inside. Are you tempted to brush some of the weight off?
Best wishes,

Merry Christmas best Wishes and at springtime to see the marvellous inside 
Re: Huge collection of fabulous cacti in Shropshire
You have a point there, Derek, it is very dark inside. Next time I go in there I'll switch a light on so I'll not trip over and damage some of the fabulous cacti.Apicra wrote:That greenhouse must be well insulated - I don't see signs of melting on the roof.

That's a peaceful image.
And your collection really is fabulous, so much to catch the eye.

Re: Huge collection of fabulous cacti in Shropshire
Thanks for the kind comment Dennis. Keep saying nice things and I'll be able to charge an entry fee for visitors wanting to see 'the fabulous cacti'. That is, when the door thaws out.
Not the sort of weather that you'll have to put up with I reckon. Minus 12 degrees Centigrade yesterday, coldest it's been for years. Mrs T has had her thermal underwear welded on and hasn't shifted from her chair in front of the log burner stove all day every day, for weeks. I have continued to explore my research into the anti-freezing qualities of 40 percent proof Scotch. More work needed in that regard.
And anyway, your Copiapoas make me green with envy - blue with cold and green with envy. What a sight!
