Thanks all.

Sharon: my location is in Fryslân - northern part of the Netherlands - West Europe.

Barb: yes correct. I like to handle each plant and make new ones. The result is that I have to many now. I try to give away the bigger ones, but the hobby is very small here.

Dinie: yes; over the years - more than 45 /50 I collected nice pots; in fact ihere are a lot of damaged and broken coffeecups :)

Charline: only hobby - I did not sell any ever. Just change with others; buy some and started a lot from seeds or a single leaf.

Isde02: thank you.

Tyler, Rina and Socks: thank you. It takes about a week every spring from early to nightfall. It's hard working, but bye than I know every plant and it's condition. After the move I only water a bit every -say- 14 days and enjoy them. In wintertime they don't need care and water. So I have a bit of rest.

Rina: spring was early this year so the garden is early too. The Semps and all don't need any care; they do fine outside during winter. Just clean the garden one time in spring and that's it mostly.

Beautiful, happy plants! Thank you for sharing. I understand it’s an annual tradition for you, a sign of spring, Earth waking up, warmer sunny days. Very inspiring to us gardeners. Carry on!

Fatastic...as always. All plants look rerally good. What a great set-up. So orderly and clean too. How long does it take yo with so many plants, handling every one, repotting...and I am sure, your collection is bigger every year?
