This is my first year with the glasshouse at my new location.
I have pretty much been playing by ear what to do.
Not that I remember now, but I can't believe the brugs are blooming like this in winter.
Here is 'Whiskers' today.
Whiskers! ..I Can't Believe They are Blooming Like This!!
Lovely picture. I'm looking at six inches of snow. Hey, can I come and winter over in your glasshouse. Surely NJ isn't that far from where you live. I won't take up to much space *grin*
Beautiful picture Alice.
that's beautiful,Alice.It must be nice to have things blooming in the dead of Winter
Nice picture Alice.
I have buds in GH,hope they will bloom soon.

Wow Alice you are so lucky, snowing here again today. She is a beauty.
Great photo! This is another I got last year, hope to see it bloom this year. Also waiting to see how the Whisker crosses turn out. I am so jealous of you guys and your flowers!
Really Badseed...so am I! I think Abutilon gets the prize for such great winter flowers!
We hardly had any blooms this summer, now mine are getting buds, sue hope they stay on. I need a lift in spirit this time of year. Getting cabin fever.
Keep up with the pics Alice, we enjoy them very much.
one of my FAVORITES!!!!

Super picture Alice...keep'em coming.
Great picture. I'd give my right arm to have a glass room added onto my house. Tracey, it is snowing a little here right now too. I'm getting sick of this weather. Bring on the sunshine and warm temps.
Already been said but here goes..Great Pic!!LOL
Oh so pretty... keep them coming Alice.
Wish we all could come and have a picnic in your glasshouse Alice! Do you think it would hold us?
Very pretty. We probably only have a few more weeks to worry about the cold. I am going to take mine out of the GH for a few days as it is not supposed to get below 40 degrees for a couple of nights. They have totally out grown it and are falling over. They need a deep soaking too. Then I will have to try and manage to get them back in. Maybe repositioning will help.
Whaaaaa!! I want to move to Donna's house. I've got 3 1/2 more months before mine can come out of the GH. :(
snow, just remember last year, you had such a great winter blooming season. We were all so jealous!! I want spring myself, I'm tired of being cramped up inside. Want SUN!!!
Alice, where do you live? May I send some snow to you and bag full of fog LOL? These flowers are beautiful - my plants are still asleep!
Monika,
I am in the US ..sw Pennsylvania.
We have had plenty of snow and cold temps this winter. Much more than our usual winter.
Cold and snow started here beginning November. And has snowed near every day since.
Day temps have seldom gotten out of the 20sF.
Weird winter )o:
My glasshouse is c 1900.
Highly inefficient for todays standards. But great!
Efficiency isn't everything ..lol Hard to beat glass for good growing.
And the ambiance is wonderful (o:
Also, I have learned to make it work well for me.
I am suprised about the size of the flowers. My brugs quit flowering in Mid-December, as daylight is not longer as six hours.Long ago, I used to heat the GH, but the plants quit growing. Since then, I just keep ir frost free.
Monika, How often do you water and fertilize them when they are kept in cool GH?
As needed, snow.It depends if sun is available.Once a week mostly. I dont fertilize the old plants at all during the winter, only young cuttings, which keep their leaves.
