Tropical greenhouse

[Henry-flash]

This has been a long term idea and the last few weeks (as some of you will know) I have started to make plans for a Tropical greenhouse setup. I'm planning a tropically planted greenhouse like a mini slice of rainforest. After further research I plan to use plants that will allow tropical butterlies to be introduced into the greenhouse. I have purchased a few books on the subject, but wondered if anyone has any first hand experience if this type of setup - Information, pics etc.

pete that sounds like a great idea

i would love to take a greenhouse or preferably a conservatory and give it a tropical feel and then let the reds have free roam with access to the outdoors.

it would be great to recieve any information ideas pictures that members might have

Sorry Pete, no info myself, but it sounds like a fabulous project, looking forward to seeing picture when it happens.

Yes Linda thats sort of my idea, only for now it will be just plants until I see how it works and how I can control temp and humidity etc.
