A quick tour of my greenhouse.
« on: May 16, 2010, 18:20:12 »
I thought you might like a tour of my greenhouse.

This is the Cuttings frame. It is empty at present as I have not actually begun taking cuttings yet. I may not do many this year as I have very little room left for successful strikes. We shall see.

A Sedum palmatum emarginatum, waiting to be propagated. A selection of auriculas.

Raffenaldia primuloids luteus and Oxalis Anna Christie.

Auricula Sirius and Androsace studiosorum Chumbyi

Erodium rodei and Pleione Cheryl

Allium akaka and another Auricula, double form.

Sedum yosemitense and Pleione formosana.

Sedum furfuraceum and Allium nevskianum.

Salvia argentea and across to the other side to Santolina magonica.

Santolina Lemon Fizz and Rhodohypoxis Fred Broome.

Allium protensum, not quite open yet and Rhododendron trichostemon, a new plant.

A few small plants which will eventually either be planted out or propagated and babies planted out.

Primula allionii and Saxifrages and Helianthemum seryllifolium.

Myosotis albosericea and Erigeron scopulinus.

Delospernum congestum and Tristama nivale. A very difficult colour to get in focus!

Delopsernum species from the Sani Pass and Leptinella dendyi.

Finally Androsace himalaica and Allium goodingii, just opening.
All plunged in sand so that they do not dry out too quickly.
Gardening is the great leveller.

I'm green with envy, they are so lovely :)

I think your greenhouse is bigger than my garden  :)

A space? I need more plants......more plants? I need some space!!!!

I think it should be called an alpine house, not a common greenhouse!

You have spurred me on. My greenhouse is full of empty seed trays, pots and old compost bags at this time of year. I will be out in my garden tomorrow taking cuttings, roots and seeds. I am ashamed of myself. Keep up the good work.
