Really super photos and story. Yoki is a lovely puppy. I m very envious of your amazing greenhouse - do you keep it heated all the time? Enjoy the spring! Ailish

Yoki looks so much fun lovely puppy

And your greenhouse is amazing!!

Wow , you know Vancouver's climate better than I do - I live about 400km kilometers ( and many , many mountain passes ) further east and a bit north , still very warm here - around 5C ; next week they expect 15C in Vancouver , so much for winter olympics .....

Hello Verena,

Thanks for your message.
I think Vancouver (temperature: +15°C/59°F) is the best place for the Summer Olympic games.

Hello crackadog,

Many thanks for your friendly message.

We have in the greenhouse 4 electro-heater with in totaal 10 kW heat output.

In last here had we outside record with -26°C ( -14,8 °F) and inside in the Greenhouse
+3°C (37,4 °F) in this time ( We had control in the night by this low temperature)

Normally temperature in the winter inside from Greenhouse are 8 to 12°C ( 46,4 to 53,6 °F) and by sunshine higher.

Best regards
Joerg and Yoki

what a wonderful greenhouse and so full of stunning plants Lucky you

As it is not much warmer in Vancouver during summer than it is this winter ( the warmest winter in over 100 years ) I am not sure , what kind of Olympics would be fine for this beautiful city - in reality , usually you could go skiing in the morning and than have a swim in the ocean in a normal year , not bad for sportsfans ....

Hello hairybeasty,

Many thanks for your interest.

The name from this cactus is "Queen of the Night" (Selenicereus grandiflorus).
The cactus bloom only in the night.

Thanks Joerg might have to get one for her ladyship..

Great photos of Yoki. When we lived in Perth we had a vine called a Moonflower. It only bloomed at night and it had a beautiful fragrance
