Just so, Sandra! My mom's version favoured the sailor..
"Red sky at morning...sailor's warning..
Red sky at night...sailor's delight." Well we have lovely clear skies today, lots of sun...but it's frigid out there! minus 9 with a windchill...booo hooo. snivel...and spring is only 15 days away!

Spring for us was 1 March, but we will be -2 tonight after a lovely sunny day. Tonight is going to be even colder!! Oh what I wouldnt give for a greenhouse that size (and the garden to go with it)

Each his own, aye Sandra? ...I think my ancestors were navigators!! heheheee... The company who make my greenhouse also make a leanto greenhouse of the same light materials for use on balconies or as an adjunct to a small garden shed. Check out Palram greenhouses, Tetra.
Thanks Motinot! we don't see colour like that everyday.

Hee hee hee, I wondered where that remark had gone..thought I typed it on the greenhouse pic and it had disappeared into the ether, I was waiting for it to reappear later, as it sometimes does...but didnt dream Id put it on here!
I do have a greenhouse Lori, its 6 x 4, half the size of yours..if I had got an 8 x 12 I couldnt have got out of the back door lol!

Beautiful! There's sure still a lot of snow on the ground there. :>)

With each snow "event"..lol..I keep hoping that it's the last! Would it be so terrible to let us have spring, now...instead of making us wait until late April???? whine...whine...

Be not too downhearted Lori. My alstroemerias thought it was spring and poked up many new leaves about 3", and the frost came for 2 nights running and now they look all yukky and limp! They have been in the garden for 5 years...old enough to know better!!

oh poor things... I don't even try alstroemeria...they just wouldn't survive our winter...I plant summer bulbs though...acidanthera, and crocosmia. The acidanthera corms and the crocosmia corms look very much alike but the A's are not winter hardy..unlike the C's. Made a mistake and dug up the C's with the A's a couple of years ago...had a merry mix up the next spring...red was blooming where I wanted white! lol...

Now thats weird! I love acidantheras but they dont survive in our winter but the alstroes do!

Do you suppose that their hardiness is influenced by their origin? Acidanthera from Turkey/Iran/Iraq and Alstroemeria from Peru?
