Hi everyone – Well Trish anyway; just as well you’re back Trish or I’d be talking to myself. Sorry to hear you’ve been away due to sad circumstances.

It’s good to hear that Lucy’s back to her normal self again and all you have to do now is make sure you and Joe don’t run yourself into the ground again trying to play catch up with the jobs that have accumulated since you’ve been away.

Anyway, just a quick visit today and I’ll finish with firstly a couple of pic’s of the only two Acanthostachys grown by collectors and they are Pic.1 Acanthostachys strobilacea and Pic.2 Acanthostachys pitcairnioides (look closely at the savage teeth on this one). Pic.3, 4 and 5 are the results of a crossing of xNiduregelia ‘Something Special' and an unknown pollen parent, possibly a Neoregelia of some sort. Nothing special, but interesting nevertheless.

All the best, Nev.
