Hi Teresa - It looks like it's back to just you and I again.

What I find mainly interesting with hybridising is that you never know for sure what you will get, and even when you get it, different growing conditions can often alter it in many different ways.

My main reason for initially growing brom's from seed was economy based; I simply couldn't afford some of the prices being asked for plants I liked. It was a short step from just growing bromeliad seed to trying my hand at hybridising some of my own plants and obtaining my own seed rather than just using seed from other sources.

You say you had a frustrating day with your PPP; I have a frustrating day every time I try to do anything other than typing on my computer. I'm sure you'll conquer it in the end, remember what they say, "if at first you don't succeed; just try, try again."

Today I'll finish with a few more random pic's of Aechmea flowers.

All the best, Nev.
