The greenhouse is up on the first floor roof garden!
It gets a LOT of sun and the plants in there really like that.


View of the GH - summer 2005

I've always had a passion for weird
plants, and this branch of the
horticultural world must have the
weirdest plants of all:

Spiky cacti, knobbly succulents and 
truly amazingly ugly caudiciforms
(or Fat Plants)
They all store water in their leaves 
or tubers and produce the most beautiful flowers.

The Greenhouse also houses some
exotic passion flowers.

PS I'm VERY bad with names, so if 
you can identify any plants on this page, 
please mail me :~)
