Teo. When and where do you find TIME and SPACE? Your thread looks more and more like a small botanical guide. I check it to see what other cool plants I am missing! Very nice! I love that Paliavana - looks like my Lady slipper gloxinia - only in the shape of a shrub!
chery and Calin thank you very much :-D Calin As now I rented a big house which has three balconies and big steps,there I had all my plants and some inside home. Many plants were squashed. last spring the steps last summer last autumn the steps inside steps early winter some days ago I decided to move to another house which is cheaper than this[because in Greece we have debt crisis] :-? The new house has a lot of space for my plants and it has a small garden ,I am happy for garden. now I transport my plants and my house things the last home today without plants and a new house and all plants around of my new home squashed Calin I like very very much the plants ,I spend my free time to my plants.. :-D :-D :-D Calin I first time grow Paliavana ,,if they grow without problems,,I will send you :-D you have a beautiful gloxinia :-D
Wow! Your old house looks "naked" with no plants! I like the look of your new house very much. You still must have a lot of space. I would have to quit my job to stay home and take care of so many plants.
Theo,Both your houses are beautiful.You will get your plants arranged soon. It just takes time & you are busy just watering.It must have been a huge job moving all those plants. Do you have a space where you can plant some in the ground.? You have so many plants I'm not familiar with.They seem exotic to me but are at home in your Mediterranean climate.Very,very interesting. You certainly have a knack for growing from seeds. Doris
Wow. Love the pictures. Were you also using the stairs for going up and down.. or just for the flower pots ??? I am sure if you ever decide to sell your plants, you'll be able to BUY a house not just RENT it
