Hi all.. For those of you that know him, you will know that Phil does not often allow cameras into his greenhouse. I have been privaliged enough to be among the few who have been allowed to take and post pictures of his fabulous collection. These pictures were taken back in mid July 2006. Unfortunately I do not have plant names to attach to the photos at this time.. I will be posting other pics from this series into the appropriate forums.

Enjoy
Steve

Edit: I should add that the main reason why Phil does not allow his collection to be posted on forums is that he gets harassed for cuttings and trades and such... PLEASE allow me to continue to be allowed to show off this great collection and do not harass Phil for his plants.

Sorry for the poor quality of some of the pics. Later this spring I am planning on dedicating a whole lot more effort to getting some high quality shots of this collection.


Cheers

Your comments are all warm and well received. Thank you. Unfortunately my greenhouse was not at its best at this time. We had a miserably hot summer but Steve did manage to capture some great shots of other things.

Thanks Steve!

Who's that dufus in the black shirt?

Capslock
 
Is that a Roridula "bonsai"?

Neat!
 
Great work, Steve! It's always exciting to get a peek at Phil's beautiful plants.

Hmmm... methinks that "dufus" looks vaguely familiar?

Good growing all,

How could I miss! Don't see too many of those.

Do you have the symbiotic insects with it?

Wow. Just, wow.

Do you know why he has those smaller pop-tent greenhouses in there? Are those especially fragile plants, cuttings, seedlings, or something? Just curious.

Oh, and could you get me a cutting of...... Just kidding!

Where is the Roridula? Is it the plany in the pot beside the guy in the white shirt?

Nice plants!

Now I see what you are all looking at. The plant in the photo under the red light socket is not my Roridula. You actually can't see the Roridula in that photo. What you are looking at is a piece of Manzanita branch with a bunch of Tillandsia mounted to it, From a distance it does look Roridula-ish. I also do not have the symbiotic insects that are associated with it.

Schloaty- the pop up tents serve multiple purposes. Newly repotted plants are placed here for an extra boost of humidity and shade, plants that like to be a bit warmer at night are houses here, and plants that like more shade in general are grown at different levels here. There is also a large square plastic chamber placed at the end of the tent rack that houses my giant N. rajah.

Not seen anywhere in these pics is the lowland growing area. These plants are housed separately. Perhaps when Steve comes back in a few weeks he can take pics from there as well.
