I've had a lean-to greenhouse in PA and now free-standing 36X16 greenhouse in coastal GA. Both are fitted with propane heaters (Modine) with electric heaters as a backup. After Hurricane Irma, we installed on demand generator. PA greenhouse heater required heater to be installed at the bottom...

Wrong forum to put pictures, sorry!

Pictures of the greenhouse after tide went out, it was too dangerous to go out during high tide to snap these pictures. Knee wall was completely under water. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nbk34ddv837809/DSCN1272.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/jzjn0pbbgwqiwdz/DSCN1273.jpg?dl=0

Thank you, Tom, I'll take up on your kind offer. If you wish to trade, I have a couple of 5 growth Phrag.vittatums.

Ray- Our electric and phone lines are also buried from the main power lines. Seeing those steel and concrete poles crashing down by the weight of the nearby trees was something else. We have a little gas-powered generator, at least we've made some coffee.:)

Sorry to reply so late, we are still experiencing phone lines blackouts hence no wifi. I placed this picture at FB and just made it public. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1465924273443708&set=a.137582039611278.12695.100000784471183&type=3&theater...

We survived the wrath of Irma with only 6 feet of storm surge. The greenhouse was halfway under water but I had moved everything into higher shelves. My only loss was my Paph. anitum seedlings, the power of the water swept the grid they were placed and salt water killed them off immediately...

Eric, I am looking for a bottle of Dragon Blood as well. if you have a spare one for sale please let me know.

By mid-April temperatures climbed to mid 80's, I moved into the greenhouse to the coolest area and by mid-May, all the leaves started to wither away. Roots were in great shape when I repotted and moved into the fridge. I'll report back the outcome.

Thank you for the tip Tom. I do keep an eye on it since it's been in the fridge since late April but what to do in case if it breaks out of its dormancy?
