If you don't like the Crassulaceae family, then this is not the place for you.
Greenhouse number 1
If anyone knows the name of the dark Kalanchoe, creeping over the plants, on the bottom right, I would be grateful. I fear for how much bigger it is going to get, as it is sending up shoots but it does not seem to have a sturdy stem to hold it upright.

Continuing with greenhouse number 1
Onto Greenhouse Number 2
As you can see in picture number 3, I do have some cacti and there are others dotted about. Then number 4 a few Aloes and Gasterias, not a very good picture, I'm afraidObsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

As it is a leanto greenhouse, I find the wall very useful for hanging pots
Again a very poor picture, apologies.Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Outside a few more pots
Aeoniums Agaves I have not put on all the Sempervivums and there are still quite a few things dotted round the garden, even the Haworthias are outside at the moment, in a slightly shady spot.
It does say at the bottom of the page 'Obsessive Crassulaceae lover', I guess that is right
In a cold frame, I find it is useful keeping them in here, bedded in sand. They don't dry out very fast, they don't get deluged when it rains, so I can control the water, yet still they get plenty of air.Aeoniums Agaves I have not put on all the Sempervivums and there are still quite a few things dotted round the garden, even the Haworthias are outside at the moment, in a slightly shady spot.

Re: Liz M's Greenhouse Tour
Quite demanding plants (at least to me) and yet they look so nice and tidy under your caring hand. I'm impressed.

Re: Liz M's Greenhouse Tour
Funny but I recognise a few of those plants - just that your's are bigger! Looking really good and healthy. With the Aeonium (the almost black one) I tend to chop its head off and start again. I am permanently trying to make it bush rather put out one stem. Anyone know the secret?
Great collection Elizabeth.

Re: Liz M's Greenhouse Tour
Lots of lovely plants there, Liz. Some nice Echeverias and a few stapeliads too!
The Kalanchoe is almost certainly K. beauverdii, a very sprawly plant, so it's only doing what comes naturally!
