Just thought I would share some pictures of the plants that I pulled out of the small GHs. It hit 85 today at my house, might reach 87 manana aqui en Yuma.
This is called Sweet Syrup Leaf from thailand, ver slow growing, and burns bad in the sun.
Not impressed with it at all. But I am going to make it happy, somehow, I think.

This one is Marble Leaf. Doing better than the sweet syrup.
Maya II is my favorite of the variagated types thus far.
Rainbow Starburst, not burning as much anymore and smelling very nice.

Thanks for looking,

Awesome pics, Davie. Thanks for sharing them. You've got a great collection there. I've been doing the same thing as you and emptying the greenhouses and two are emptied and collapsed now. Although, a little voice in my head is screaming that it is still February. Oh, well. They are easier to maintain when they are out. I'll post some pics of them soon.
we have a week or two... just had a late freeze of 29* this morning... that should be the last of winter 07-08
Hetty, I swore I heard them say that as I pulled them out.
Clare I heard the same voice in my head, but the sound of the plants reacting to the sun was louder. I know i know...I'm crazy.
Diehard, I hope your'e correct, and we have seen the last of winter.
Davie
i too have heard my plants calling... almost put the pudica and one or two cuttings out... good thing i didn't!
Great pictures dbrooks! I haven't seen heard of a variegated one before. . .will have to put those on my list.

Dete, Most of these came out of the GH, so they had a head start.

i'll be plunging and planting directly in the ground this year. and yes! all of them will either brought inside around thanksgiving (or first freeze) or left on the patio.
What a job thats going to be! I have about 30 that I will be putting in the ground as soon as I can find the time.
