today some photos from May 8, 2024.
We have had warm and slightly sunny weather in Köln since the 7th.
Since then it has been getting warmer every day.
The warmest day should be tomorrow, Sunday. Then it will get colder again.
This spring is difficult for us cacti growers.
We had frost in April and then it was very wet for weeks.
I couldn't bring the plants to the outdoor-dining.
Now it's so warm and the sun is so strong that I can only put the plants outside with sun protection.
That makes things complicated and time-consuming.
Despite everything, some plants are already flowering , here are some photos.
First the night ghost and then some roses.
