What to Do???

When I first built my shade house I thought that I would never run out of space or have plants that were too big.

But then I bought a few plants– ok, more than a few…

And others grew taller and taller…

Everybody was getting a bit cramped!

What to do?

My wife and daughter suggested that I sell or give them away…

I traded a few, but was still running out of room and several were getting too tall.

Again, what to do?

I thought about trimming them back and making cuttings. But most of them hadn’t flowered yet and cuttings mean s even more plants.

What to do?

I took a look around and found a bit of space that was being underutilized…

It took some moving and cleaning

And a little shade cloth…

But I think it turned out pretty well

Even the displaced cacti , bromeliads, and succulents seem to be happy in their new home at the end of the drive way next to the original shade house.

dude.. PM SENT!!
 
wow... i wish i had so much room :D
 
that is amazing!!! Wish I lived somewhere where that was possible! How tall are the ones that displaced the cacti? They all look so happy!
 
Wow, Keith. Just wow. I particularly love that N. boschiana x (spectabilis x veitchii)! Great job.
 
Everybody was getting a bit cramped!

What to do?

My wife and daughter suggested that I sell or give them away…

Personally, I would sell your wife and daughter, not give them away. I'm sure you could fetch a handsome sum and buy a few acres for your neps.

(Great collection by the way...)
 
You.
Are.
AWESOME.

Everything looks just stunning!

:0o::drool::love::hail:
 
Thanks for all the kind words!
The taller plants that displaces the cacti range from 3'-6'
As for the wife and daughter, they might fetch a good price, but I am sure the buyer would return them in short order... :)
The N. boschiana x (spectabilis x veitchii) is moving its way up my favorites list quickly Glen. This is its first real nice picture since I got it a couple months ago. I can't wait until it gets bigger....
