Hi everyone.
Nev here's some seedling pics for you. these are some of my billbergias. I think I sent you some of these too. they are all hellicoides billbergias but from 2 different plants. The first 2 are the same grex but third one is different. In the group pic the pot on the left is the original plant and these are the pups from original mum in the middle. the silvery seedling is from the seed collected from this original plant. the coloured seedling was from seed collected from a helicoides at Carol Evan's place in Bundaberg. I thought the plant looked the same as the one I had collected seed from but these seedlings grew so much faster than my seed and of course different colouring to seedlings so not sure if they are a species or if something crossed onto the flowers in Carol's yard.
I'm working throught all the pics downloaded from my camera and I'll post some more tomorrow.

night all
Wendy
