    But this is where the work is done.

    This is mine. The other greenhouses do not belong to me so pictures are banned!

    A very different sort of greenhouse, Palustris! You rather like alpines, I take it? :D

    Did you build the benches yourself? I presume you did? It looks great!

    BM, I noticed that plant in shiney's greenhouse as well, it looks a bit like a pachypodium.
    What did you do to that geranium to get it to flower this soon Waco, they usually take a couple of years at least.
    I'm not showing my greenhouse too much clutter :eek: :D

    Oh I love this thread, its like looking into peoples brains, some all so neat and tidy, some artistic, some recyclable ....and the rest!

    Oh go on Pete, I showed you mine so you show me yours!

    and didn't do anything to geranium, just got it from local show as seedling, it was in stable most of winter which was quite dark. Not sure what to do with it now, do they die after they have flowered, anyone know what the palmatum thats next to it is going to do?

    Palmatum, I think is the same as anemonifolium, it flowers later and I tend to think its not so interesting, no like the maderense, that flowers all at once and then tends to die or grow a couple of side shoots to carry on.
    I might take a pic of my greenhouse tomorrow if I get chance, but it is dirty.

    Hi BM and pete

    Mrs shiney also thinks it is from the yucca family but is not sure.

    [​IMG]


    It has been pot-bound in this pot for 20-30 years and had branched into the pot next to it over 15 years ago. Just the other month a cat knocked the pots off the bench and broke the plants apart. :(

    You can see where they were joined.
