Hi all,
Geez what's going on with the weather?
Looking forward to the Illawarra Society spring show next week, will be good to get some tips from the pro's.

I'm wondering what started everybody's interest in bromeliads and at what age?
I was working on a boiler down at Burwood RSL in Sydney about 2yrs ago and the local society were having their spring show. They had a display out the front that looked magic! Thought I might grab a few and see if I could kill them as well.

A couple of pics of various plants. The 2nd and 3rd I found in my mothers garden and she tells me my grandmother was growing these many years ago.
