Cacti and Sukkulent in Köln, every day new flowers in the greenhouse Part 188

Good evening dear cacti-friends,

it was a hard time here in Cologne. . .
Usually it is not very cold here in winter, rarely frost.
But now there were some days with permafrost and temperatures of minus 8° C / 17° F.
Unpleasant. . .
None of my plants are still blooming.
But last year, some have blossomed. . .

Let's just take a look at the 20.June 2017.

Hello K.W.!
Yes, it is unexpectedly cold spring.
Your Rebutia together produce flowers. A multi-headed group.

Your cat is guarding the greenhouse and catches all the mice.
With respect, Vladimir.  .

Good evening Vladimir,

alright, now I got it!
100% waterproof, but after 20 to 25 years these skylights sometimes leak.
Good insulation, if you have three layers.

Thank you. K.W.
25 years. I understand.
Sorry to bother you. .
