Hi all
Here's a tour of my 8x12 with most of my Euphorbia's & other delicates in, cacti are on the top shelf so Arios, disco, ortego & anyone else I think likes it warmer( yes I know Ario's don't need it but have run out of space in other one)
Euphorbia Ankarensis,Alfredii, Poisoni,venefica & d.gigas plus others, lots of zippy bags as I have been busy with the paint brush.

Tina's Tour
The lumpy messy side with some pachycauls & others that don't need to be in the trays with the soil warming cables.
Some of my friends seriously don't appreciate this 'twiggy' greenhouse but it's my favourite really.
I have gone off my grafted plants a bit as I have too many lollipops but I have managed to root some of the grey/normal Abdelkuri's so it is useful, small black trays are normally for seed raising.
clover trays are for leaf collection, they don't warn you that keeping succulents means a lot of cleaning up .

Re: Greenhouse Tour
Looks a nice "warm" house, Tina, with some choice "warm-loving" plants - thanks for sharing.

Re: Greenhouse Tour
Hi all,
What wonderful collections you all have - I have a long way to go!
Tony R - I give up - what is that lovely flowering cactus in your 'profile picture'? Is it a Rebutia? It's a beaut and I want one!

Re: Tina's Tour
Sorry, Tina, slightly off-topic, but Sue46 wanted to know what my "profile picture" is. Well, of course, it's one of my favourite plants, Mammillaria saboae subsp. goldii! A twelve-headed plant with 45 flowers, on a graft in a two inch square pot!
Here's a larger copy of the same photo:

Re: Tina's Tour
Hi Tina, sorry to notice this section only now! I am very glad to see your most interesting plants and would like to ask you so many questions (it that an Euphorbia platyclada? How old is the phantastic Idra columnaris? Etc.). Wouldn't it be easier if you envited me to have a better look?

Re: Tina's Tour
Hi Eve
Of course you can visit, I don't think I took back the previous offer .
Yes I do have 2 forms of Euphorbia platyclada - a small stumpy one & a taller form, although I'm not that fond of them,I prefer the Madagaskan Euphorbia's but they are nore fragile.
The Idria columnaris was imported in the early 1980's after a friend visited USA & chose one, this was pre cites when you just went shopping in the countryside, it came via seamail. I'm really pleased with this plant & it just started leafing this October so I did not buy a dead lump which is a relief.

Re: Tina's Tour
Well, now it's official
Sorry for my bad English, but I understand that you bought the Idra some 30 years ago and it waited till this October to vegetate?
