That is quite an operation.

You must have got hurt moving all those spinies. How bad did they sting you?

Stephania,
What a massive and difficult job to move such a splendid collection.
I wonder, like Sander, how you fared physically? I always look at your arms when you post photos with you in it, and am amazed to see how smooth and scratch-free they are! As they say, "Protection is a good thing" !
Well done - you must be relieved to finish the move. Your collection looks great in its new home. Is that your new neighbour's yard? Or do you share it?
Your old backyard looks so much smaller now it's empty. Did you have to move your plants far? How many people helped? - and what do their arms look like now?

I guess you never want to move again? Welcome home.

Cheers,
Kerry

Hi Stephania,
Wow ! what a job that must have been. But it's all looking good again. I'm wondering how your cryptanthus will do in that sunshine. Do you plan on some shadecloth?
Keep us up to date on your new house construction,and your future plans for the broms,etc.

Awesome! I'm sure you must have some battle wounds from all that moving.
You know it looks so good, you could sell tickets and call it a plant museum. I'd buy a ticket!

Will need a photo diary for your house building, how exciting this will be. Congrats on the move.

Chanin, we understand how you feel because we have to move plants all the time as our construction progress. Luckily our plants are not as lethal! Would be most interested to see the design of your new house - is it custom designed to accomodate your spinies? We designed our house before we got the bromeliad disease & now we are adapting parts of the design to incorporate conservatorys and glass corners so there's room for more plants inside! My whole top floor studio will be turned into a conservatory!!!

Thanks friends (^_^)

Actually, what saved my hands & arms from "lethal" is long "leather" gloves.
Luckily, there were many good friends gave me their hands
moving all my 1,000 spinies pots to the new place,
where is just close to my next door.

I just did open the fence for walking through to my collection easily.
In fact, this new place has not been used for year, no house or any constructions,
so I can use the whole place as my plant nursery.

You can see there is a big tree in that land which gives some shade
for my Cryptanthus and seedlings.
This morning I saw a 1 foot wide beehive hanging on a tree's branch.

You know, what I worry is all my little poor lizards and skinks.
I don't know if they could find their ways to the new garden.
I've not seen even one :-(

Hi Channin,
The new layout seems just about perfect. You seem to have survived this major move well - congratulations.

I think your lizzards ands skinks will find their new home soon enough.

Maybe you should put up a sign with directions for them:
"Broms this way"---->

Sander

Chanin, that makes me tired just thinking about it! Are you going to tear down your house and start over, or just add to it? Where will you live in the meantime?

WOW WOW ...
This will be a great project ^^!!!

Thanks Chris & Max... LOL, at least I'm OK, with few scars on my hands!

Lisa, I will keep my old house, it's still OK to live in.
The new lofty modern style will be built in front of the old one.
It seem there will be no space for my plants anymore.
But it's all right, as I have another lager property not far from Bangkok,
but that could be a long project moving, again.
