Growing Phragmipedium during winter time!

[Phrag-Plus]

Always a challenge to grow Phrags up north! I find that pictures from a few years winter and I wanted to share!
The roof of my greenhouse sits on an 8-foot foundation, 4 of which are in the ground... This helps with heating...

No thanks, J-P! It gets cold and snowy enough here in Illinois. We should be growing our Phrags. in Hawaii!

I have been to both places, JP's greenhouse is definitely worse in terms of Winter weather.
