Thanks E.

They are actually not that good right now as I am down to about 5.5 hours of direct sun on the glasshouse, and that is only if there are no clouds.

The last week+ has been very overcast so things have really slowed.

Jeeze I hate winter!

Only 3 more weeks until the shortest day of the year for us. Then things will start to look up

Yes, Winter is a depressing time for us, Neps grower.

But still amazing coloration on the plants and awesome setup for the greenhouse.

Hmm... the only problem I see is that there is still room to walk!

Very nice indeed! how large is your greenhouse?

Where do you live that the shortest day of the year is June?
 
Very very nice! I agree with Swords, too much extra space! I would have my greenhouse choking by now!

Swords-I believe he lives in Australia.

Ah yes, I always forget the southern hemisphere is opposite...:p

That will explain why my amorphophallus bulb from Troy went dormant just as all my others are starting up for the year!

Thanks everyone.

I still considder myself a newbie compared to most of you so it's pleasing to know I am on track.

Josh,

Glasshouse is about 8.5x12.5ft (2.6x3.8m) and I live in Melbourne Australia.

As for the space issue... I totally agree.  I've only been back into the hobby this year so my very first plants were received in about Feb, so the collection is growing steadily.  Give another 12 months and I bet I'll be looking for space in the garden to add another glasshouse (one lowland & one highland

).

Plus, the glasshouse was only set up in mid March so I am still setting it up slowly.  There will be more bench space soon, a better heater and moving form the current spray system to a misting system.

Thanks again for the kind words.  It's very encouraging.

Aaron.
