Dear Siegrid, Yesterday when I helped you at Wiegands Nursery you had given me your website...I thought I would spend a few minutes looking it over, but it turned into three hours!!!! What a wonderful site full of information. I also liked all the birds too. I have an Umbrella Cockatoo with a vocabulary of nearly 80 words. He was listening intensely to the bird and wildlife sounds from your website. I will be getting back on your site soon....it is fascinating and highly educational. I very much enjoyed spending time with you Monday. Hope to see you again soon. Debbie Swanboro

I find bromeliads very interesting and extraordinary beautiful. I love your pictures. I have a number of bromeliads in my garden but it doesnt have contrasting colors. Maybe its because of the weather here in the Philippines. Could you give some advice on how to raise colorful bromeliads .

I recently saw a young man in Gisborne New Zealand who was selling these beautiful plants at a flea market, and was instantly hooked, I had previously seen them in a TV show called "Burkes Backyard" (Australian Programme). I obtained 1 Vreasea from him, and with two pups I instantly had three, great!!!
On our next visit we bought another variety, from these two we now have 14. We live in Hamilton New Zealand and in the winter it gets quite cold so its all trial and error from here on in. I will probably have to bring them inside for the winter months. Am trying to find out as much as I can about these beautiful plants. I am also trying to get some pineapples from the supermarket to grow too.

Wonderful site, wish there was more information about the workings of your greenhouse, how do you keep the climatic conditions right for all the tropical inhabitants. I have a climate controlled greenhouse, and only beginning to discover the joy of having anoles and geckoes in it. Although a lot remains to be figured out to provide them with a proper habitat, and to be able to increase the diversity in both flora and fauna of my greenhouse. Is there a place where I can find out more specifics about your greenhouse?

thanks for your wonderful work

I am curious as to which species of opuntia you planted outside. I have recently started a hardy cactus bed.Obviously your plants appear to be very healthy ,but do you have to provide any sort of winter rain protection? I would be gratefull for any information you can provide. I live about sixty miles south of chicago zone 5 .
thank you

I was born in 1964, and I live in Gladsaxe - a suburb to Copenhagen (Denmark). I live in a 3-room flat with a large closed balcony where I have all my cacti. (I bring them inside in the winter!) Living in a flat, I dont have enough space for the entire cactus I would like to have - but nevertheless, I always seem to find room for just one more! To day I have abut 50 cacti. I got my first cactus in 1982. I have seen many cacti around the world. The must beautiful cacti I have ever seen come from South America. I have been in South America in the summer of 1982. Let me hear from you.

Your pages are very pretty with so many beautiful photographs whilst they are so informative with the rich articles. I've come across your web site while I was looking for a site for tillandsias. Before I read your article, I didn't even have a faintest idea of growing cacti out-of-doors in Michigan. I want to try those cacti species in Seoul where the winter temperature usually goes down to 5 degrees Fahrenheit and sometimes even lower to -4 degrees F. Could you help me in getting some cuttings of those you groww there out-of-doors? I'll pay the expenses that occur.

Thanks.

I am a cactiphile and have had a collection for about six years. Never having been in the desert, except for passing quickly through the heat, I knew nothing of what I was missing until I was introduced to my first monstrosus. I fell in love. Also growing up in Northern California I loved the sound of the frogs at night. Their rythmic sounds put me to sleep at night. I am saddened that I no longer hear them except rarely on an evening walk. Thank you for the beautiful sights and sounds.

You have an interesting site and links. My interests are mainly cacti and bromeliads (and a some conservation)- however I have a pen friend in Michigan, who I met in Texas,who may be interested in these sort of topics.My reseach suggests there are only two species of cacti that grow in your state, both Opuntias (prickly pears)These, I am afraid are boring! However I grow some Saracenias from collected seed in 'Northern' Michigan. Have you seen these? Keep up the good work.
Yours cactophylitically,

What a delightful website. Isn't the Cattleya mossiae orchid the kind women wore as a coursage, about 50 or 60 years ago?

I would live to see the Opuntias (cacti) in bloom. They look so beautiful.

Thank you for creating such a delightful and informative web site.
