Ralph that photo is awsome, your plants look amazing, you must be very proud of your collection, really mind blowing for someone like me who has a 6 x 6 ft greenhouse. Really fab, thanks for sharing.

You are both excellent growers of these wonderful floriferous plants. (tu)

Well for me, it's a dream come true! But for many years I had my collection in a 10 x 8, then 10 x 20 greenhouse, which gave me a lot of pleasure, before I retired and built the current one. The best bit though, is perhaps not so much the size of the current one, as that it has a nice, sunny aspect, so the plants are growing really well in it.

Visitors are welcome!

And Tony - I agree, Sylvia grows some cracking plants!
