Maggi,
You can imagine then what I'm thinking when Grand Designs or some such programme has a modernist house full of glass windows!
The minimalist dream all fluffy n green at the edges laced withn fly catching strips for good measure!
I suspect my ideal house might be a greenhouse, humidity could be a problem for the Chesterfield though!  ;) ;)

Thanks for the nice thought Dave :'(
It's -4ºC here in the moment
and they give -7ºC for the rest of the week
heaters are burning in the polytunnels
What global warming I call this global colding  ::)
This is what is normal here in January February
if this continuous it will be an expensive winter

but for the rest beautiful Tigridia
do they also flower one day like the other Tigridia's ??
