    I have a few blooms but there in the greenhouse everything else is gone.


    Bromilads (sp) and Crown of Thorns.

    I guess that you are pretty pleased with those plants, eh? They are looking like they are doing well to me. It's so nice to see things with flowers at this time of year.

    Sadly even the plants in my greenhouse have died because of the severe weather conditions we've been having. I must try to find a heater before next winter as I hate to see them all fade away. :(

    So glad you posted your photographs Glenda, because as Sjoerd says, it's good to see flowers at this time of year. :-D

    Glendann, being in Texas, may I ask what Temperature is inside your greenhouse? my current one (being Medium size) I have had a heater on and with all our snow, its been 20-25 sometimes 30 degrees F. What perinials I had in there, I think are now hybernating for the winter. Nice to see you still have some of your plants doing well.

    Petunia I heat mine with light bulbs.If its above 30 outside I burn 2-100 watt bulbs.If is in the upper 20s outside I burn 3- 100 watt bulbs.If its lower I burn a 250 watt.a 200 watt and a 100 watt.I have only used the bigger ones once this year and that was when we got all the snow.If its to be in the teens I would have to use an electric heater and the 100 watt bulbs.My greenhouse is about a 10x10 .Not big at all.

    I am thinking of investing in a pop-up greenhouse. Do you have to keep a consistent temperature in them? Your plants look good.
