A tour of my greenhouse in winter, it is crammed with plants and there are other plants in more places but this is most of them.
Mostly Echeverias, with Echeveria 'Domingo' dominating and its flowers sprawling over everything.
Mostly Echeverias with some cacti near the back.
The front with Echeverias facing the sun waiting to turn red with the cold and more evidence of cacti
A view through the front door, with large pots on the floor and several Aloes.
Sedums, Pachyphtums, Kalanchoes and CrassulasWinter in the greenhouse

Re: Winter in the greenhouse
Crassula sarmentosa variegata
Hanging pots making use of the heat from the house wall.
More hanging pots.
The rest of the hanging pots. A lot go out to hang at the back of the house, which is south-facing when summer eventually arrives.

Mostly Mesems.

Re: Winter in the greenhouse
Small Opuntias in the coldframe. this is a bit of an experiment, it remains to be seen which survive and which respond well.
More small Opuntias on the high shelf.
