HI EVERYONE - I HOPE EVERYONE'S WELL AND ENJOYING THEIR BROM'S.

COLLEEN - I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF LUCK WITH QUES. LIBONIANA AS I CONTINUALLY GET LEAF-TIP DIE BACK. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT POTTING MIXES, I'VE TRIED IT POTTED, MOUNTED ON BITS OF WOOD AND EVEN MOUNTED ON A LIVE TREE; ALWAYS WITH THE SAME RESULT.

A FRIEND GROWS IT PERFECTLY IN POTS AND MOUNTED AND HE'S ONLY ABOUT TEN KM. FROM ME AND I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT DOESN'T LIKE THE SALT AIR FROM THE NOR EASTERLY SEA BREEZES WE OFTEN GET HERE WHERE I LIVE.

A FEW MORE PIC'S TO FINISH WITH,

1. NEO.'BURGUNDY MOSS'
2. NEO.'SMALL WORLD'
3. NEO.'FAIRY DUST'
4. NEO.'BLACKOUT' X 'MISTER ODEAN'
5. NEO.'BOLD STREAK X MCWILLIAMSII

ALL THE BEST, NEV.
