Last weekend Volkmar Schara again was at a flower show with his plants. It took place at an old middle age castle on top of a hill, nearby my home.
Some pictures:

Hi @springcolor

The Castle first mentioned in a document of the year 1234, but it might be older. Shape and buildings have changed troughout the centuries. The oldest, still existing building, besides some walls is the well.

The well (about 90 yards deep).
Thumb of 2015-06-22/turini/e5b626

An ideal place to have a plant show.

Hi Lane - I don't think Wolfgang saw your post (or maybe he just 'treemailed' you so didn't reply in this forum...but just in case you can call them out!! Hilarious! @turini - now he'll get a message saying that he has been talked about Whistling )
What do you do to keep your semps alive in FLA? Curious since its so humid
Cheers I tip my hat to you.

I think it's too difficult to send to US, because of he customs regulations. It's probably expensive to get the permit and all that papers needed.
