Default Re: Your indoor arboretums?

I built a sunroom addition on back of house late 04. It's really considered a enclosed porch because it has no heat or AC. I will attempt to post a pic here...the windows you see are facing east (yes, that's snow - taken early 07). There is 13 ft of window facing south (to right) & very large table there loaded w/ plants & 2 skylights above them. If I want heat in winter, I open the Fr doors to get house heat in from kitchen. Room is 16X18 - well insulated, & will be loaded with plants soon. There wil only be a walk space to back door.
Those are 2 IC nannas taken early 07. One is only smaller because it was in a smaller pot. They were planted inground these last 2 summers and stems (without leaves) are 6 - 7ft tall now. I built this JUST for my plants in winter.


Here shows south facing window, taken 2 winters ago. The plants are MUCH bigger now.
