Tony, I am impressed!

Beautiful stuff, Matt and Tony! A cool, even cold greenhouse is high on my wishlist! Excellent way to speed spring, or even improve winter if you have winter bloomers...

Gorgeous Ophrys...never would have thought to grow those in a greenhouse.

I am cross posting here as my blooming Leucocoryne ixioides in the greenhouse at work is currently blooming (posted on image of the day and the leucocoryne thread started earlier)

A couple of cypripediums not sure where to post them. I know a lot of people grow them outside in the garden but I have cold wet clay and this is not an option

Cypripedium tibeticum
Cypripedium Ulla Silkens
