I'm a bit confused now. Are those plants inside or outside of the green house

Mark all the plants are inside the greenhouse, growing in the raised bed.  The greenhouse has lots of glass removed on the sides to allow good ventilation but all the plants are protected from overhead.

Fermi,

that is most impressive, thank you for showing. I'd love to know about the material and construction. Do you have any information?

Myakea integrifolia ohhh. I have tried it twice from seedlings and each time they have died. Who has a spare plant? I'll go down on my knees  :)

any thoughts on why peter would need to put the pulsatilla integrifolia under cover in his climate?

Cohan, where did you see that Peter puts it under cover? He doesn't, as far as I know.

Peter has a Miakeya in the alpine house previously been shown in the figure. He has also set out many seedlings in the garden.
 I have only seen the alpine house in the summer, then it's roof but no walls, how it is in the winter I do not know. There are some really beautiful plants in it.

i was assuming it was inside the structure seen above..
but from ulla's comments above, i guess its just for comparison with those growing completely outside?

Sorry Cohan, I was missing that point! Yes, I see now what  you meant.... but, as you say, it's just to have a comparison, I think. It may be to see if the one under cover has less trouble with aborting buds.... the plant is seemingly prone to that.

I made a hyper tufa crevice garden in my Alpine House a few years back. The method was featured in the AGS Bulletin.
