Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

Richard thats actually quite a good composition with the pushchair mirroring the form of the sculpture. As for the sculptures themselves I can take em or leave em. Prefer the plants on show;)
You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

What's the name of the plant in the very first picture that lookslike little shot glasses all stacked inside each other - presumably each one is a year's growth.
Not quite so new to cacti now - greenhouse up and running - a cactoholic is born!! Visits welcome - just get in touch.

The geese and the tower top make a nice line through the photo.

I hadn't spotted the leak! :lolbt:

NB. Anyone failing to provide a sensible name for me to address them will be called, or referred to, as Fred.
