    I just thought you should see what a serious greenhouse looks like. Check this link. http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2359327480034646043rfsVFq

    This greenhouse is 40 foot high and weight 54 tonnes. It's only big enough for one plant - a 200 year old Camellia tree just outside Dresden. It's also on rails so that instead of putting the plant inside the greenhouse over winter, the greenhouse is put over the plant.

    I think it would solve some of my winter problems.

    What a wonderful idea to perserve such an old tree. I can't imagine how much the greenhouse cost to make or the maintenance costs for that matter it's got to be HUGE!
