They look great Gloria! Whats the big red flower? A hibiscus?

Lima, OH(Zone 5a)

Yes, they have all been blooming up a storm. Have to get better organized tho', needing to water plants too much, no rest for the ..........?

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)

It looks nice and toasty Hibiscus.

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Looks great to me. Wish I had a good place like that for plants.

Grass Lake, MI(Zone 5a)

They all looked so good and healthy. I too wish I had a place like that to keep mine in. Mine are scattered all over the house once again.

San Leandro, CA(Zone 9b)

Great idea Gloria! I wonder if Tom will build me a room like that! LOL.

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

Gloria, it looks great! Its pobably warmer than my winterhouse. Do you have a chair in the room also for a rest?

Lima, OH(Zone 5a)

Has lots of benches and "shelves", I could lie or sit on, if I didn't have so many plants! It really is warm and cozy in there.

Angleton, TX(Zone 9a)

Gloria, that is a wonderful room and you have it set up so nice. I bet your plants just love it there. I bet you spend alot of time there.

San Antonio, TX(Zone 9a)

Darn it, no basements in South Texas.

Coal Center, PA(Zone 6a)

Very nice, Gloria. Great oasis in your basement!
Sauna and plants together. Methinks ..that could be fun ;-) lol

Your 'greenhouse' is about 20º warmer than mine.
I will not be sauna bathing in mine )o;

I'm with Alice, fire up that sauna! What a great place to keep your babies. Really looks great.

a sauna?-----lol who needs ppl?---you, a few new plant catalogs, some hot water and maybe a sketch pad to lay out where you will put all those lovelys next spring?---they would have to send the FBI out to find me cuz I think I could hide in there all winter.

Vancleave, MS(Zone 8b)

Looks great Gloria. Wish I had a basement too.

Lima, OH(Zone 5a)

Bikini is right Alice. DH cranks sauna up to 100 degrees, then throws water on the bricks, WHEW!!!

Woodburn, OR(Zone 8a)

I love it! I'm shopping for MH lights right now, I'm converting a spare bedroom into a growing room.

Lima, OH(Zone 5a)

It beats a GH outside, with very cold temps. This is not hard to heat at all. Hibiscus seem to love it, they all have such dark green leaves. Every day another one is blooming.

You will love it Carena.

Chariton, IA(Zone 5b)

Boy, if I had that room, I'd have my Pepsi and some music and just fiddle the day away down there. Bet those plants smell good too. Love the smell of growing plants and dirt.

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)
