Re: Disgusting
Yeah... hope it doesn't! I have chives about an inch high. It's always at least April before they show themselves, I'm sure.

Re: Disgusting
Is that 63 yrs young Roy 
Lots of strange things in the greenhouse this winter, lot of crassulas seem to be repeat flowering, I have got quite a few cacti in bud. And yes my heater has hardly been on too. In fact it shows how mild it has been, I compact all my plants down into 1/2 the greenhouse to cut down on heating costs, there are some odd Echinopsis, Bromophyllyums and anomeiums that are weeds that I left totaly unprotected in the back half all seem quit happy and the Bromophyllyums are flowing.

Re: Disgusting
Hehe, Bill... if you desperately wanted the weeds to live, and they were your most prized plants... they'd be going all squidgy.

The Echinopsis are the worst bits of a clump of white flowering one that I split up and the Aeoniums were the result of seed sowing experiment (lesson learnt don't sow seeds of the most commonest plants
)

Re: Disgusting
Hi Tina & Stephen,
thank you.
Hi Ian,
no I'm not quite into the 64 next year routine but I am at a very funny age.I'm young enough to remember that ladies can excite you but old enough to have forgotten why!
Hi Phil,
do I detect a kindred spirit? I quite like Aeoniums if you look around there are some quite varied forms. I think the last one I picked up was a smithii which used to be very common but,at least in this area,does not seem to be now.Unfortunately one is sending up a flower spike so that will be the end of that shortly.
Hi Bill,
yes things are not quite as dormant as they should be I hope it does not give us a poor flowering year. I was hoping for a good year due to that glourious July sunshine
thank you.
