Got her back in 2021 and has been been varying degrees of crammed for most of the time since. That said I think i may be reaching actual critical mass this year... (apologies for terrible potato phone quality)

A pretty tight fit but i've learned some yoga poses to make general maintenance easier

Shadiest area, also the only place cuttings can feasibly go to stay "dry"

This seems to be one of the nicest areas to be and competetion is fierce

Also kind of plush and not too extreme, though the sun from the side can get really hot.

Theres a second larger bit of outdoor staging to the left of the greenhouse but no recent photos so this will do for now. Thank you for coming on my very brisk and cramped tour.
I really need more space!

You're definitely crammed in but what an eclectic mix of plants.

Looking good (if a bit cramped!)

Some of those euphorbias are stunners - where on earth did you get them from?!

Thanks Rod, yes my exploratory phase was fairly unrestrained and initially was growing alot of crassulaceae and having my mind blown every day by new plants in other families and genera. They still remain (mostly outdoors). I seem to have found a groove over the last year and a bit with Euphorbia generally and more specifically am really enthralled with Malagasy flora.

Ian thank you! I am very proud of them. I had a fair few of the more ubiquitous succulent euphorbs in my "early days" but after stumbling on E bupleurifolia articles and photography I fell head over heels and interest exploded in the entire family. It took me some searching but almost everything came from the e.u and u.k ebayers. Bupleurifolia in particular was very tricky to find (I think growers must like to keep it close to their chest and rarely sell more than one in a while) but I've had good success with it and it's still my favourite. I'm really aiming at providing seed sources in the future for us in the u.k for many of the plants that seem so very rare. Also I need to fix my camera to do some better photoshoots for my lovelies going forward 😊

Looks really good, love the euphorbia & well done on growing them, they are my 'problem plant' & bi- annual for me :oops: .
