I thought some of you guys in the colder climates might appreciate this. We started production today with around 1200 un-rooted cuttings.
Won't be to much longer and we'll be out in the yards digging. So keep faith that Spring is coming!:)

It's all foliage material no flowers yet but hey it's a start right.

Here's a closer picture to give you an idea of how big the cuttings are.

More fruit is always a good thing. I'm thinking about expanding our selection this year if I can find a decent supplier.

We did get some Geraniums in yesterday. Mostly red but a few other colors too.
A red geranium, a spike and some variegated vinca vine is about as American as apple pie.

Here is another close up to show size. They have a healthy root system this year. That should make for a better finished product.

We had a good sized order come in from Florida today. All sorts of different plants. Ferns, bougainvilleas, ficus, ect. It was around 800 pieces.

One of the neatest plants we got in today were the pitcher plants. For those not familiar with them they are carnivorous.
Bugs crawl into the pitcher to get water then the lid closes trapping the bug inside. Then it slowly gets digested.

Very nice greenhouse! Are you a retailer? I think the pitcher plants would sell well up here but no one sells them. They are easy to find through tissue culture. I'd grow them out if I had a greenhouse!
