Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
This post is essentially a copy of my blog entry here:
Photos of my plants August 20th, 2009 So my wife and I finally made the move to Ashland, Oregon. Since we've settled in, I've got my new greenhouse set up! I'm very excited about that. It gives me plenty of room to expand my collection. Unfortunately I kept most of my collection inside under fluorescent lights this spring in order to try to keep them cleaner so I could gather tissue for tissue culture. When we arrived here in Ashland, I planned to just put them out in the greenhouse and let them acclimate. I had no idea that the temperatures would be over 100°F the week we got here. Between the heat and the intense sun that they weren't used to, most of them burned to a crisp! The plants in these photos were either outside when we were living in Boulder, have recovered or, for one reason or another, weren't affected as badly by making the move from fluorescent lights to direct sunlight.

Hope you enjoyed the tour of the new greenhouse! |

Wah!! The VFT expert and his extremely beautiful greenhouse. I envy you. It's hard to find VFT cultivars here in Malaysia.

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
Thanks guys! As you noticed, there's plenty of room to expand in the back yard. If I need more room, I can always get another greenhouse. The climate here is pretty mild, so I might be able to get away with growing some plants outside year round too.

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
Well, I assembled the greenhouse myself. It came in a kit with numbered parts. It was actually quite a job by myself, but I got it done! The extreme heat while I was trying to set it up didn't help any.
