Greetings from NW Illinois

Post by SCS »

Hi all-

Although I've posted on here a few times, I wanted to make a formal introduction.
My name is Lisa. I have a good sized greenhouse which I heat in the winter. I grow a myriad of plants, including some tropical types, hence the necessity for heating.
I'm in Zone 5.
I grow C&S, but also Ant Plants, some aroids and carnivorous plants.
I will create a separate thread with some greenhouse pics, inside and out.
(I'm hoping I can figure out how to use my iPad to upload pictures. )
I joined the BCSS this March, as I really enjoy the way every format from forum to Instagram is used to engage every enthusiast.
My thanks to all of the volunteers that invest the effort in making this possible.

Looking forward to some rigorous topics. :grin:
Best regards, Lisa

Welcome to the Forum Lisa, it will be nice to see some photos of your greenhouse. You are quite right about the volunteers, there are many of them who keep the BCSS going. Enjoy your plants.

Welcome Lisa
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.
