Bromeliads for novices and addicts, Jan-Feb 2011

I think these may have been Puyas. No flower to ID though. Silly DG keeps logging me out so I'll sign out and catch you again tomorrow.

I don't know if I posted this picture before but here it is.
Flowering at this time Tillandsia Creation.

Marlene I wouldn't care if you did post the pic before. It's beautiful. Colleen

I agree with Colleen, Marlene. Can't see too much of that one.

2 noid neos...

hi all. thought I would show you some of the broms we had for sale at our open garden. this is our display Ae burning bush with a planter stand of neo tangerines in front. The tangerines lasted about 10 minutes and they were all gone. we could have sold more but were not sure how many others we had. when we rounded up all the pups and put them in the tangerine totems we still have 10. Johnny plans to harvest some seed and grow some F2 versions of tangerine. we may even select something else to cross it with.

this is one of the 6 vriseas I got today when we all went to Wavell Heights sale. This one is platynema variegata x mambo. I love the colour and the dark fingernails. It should just get better with age.

this one is ubeaut x banana split. The picture doesn't show the true yellow colouring in this one. It is so lovely and will get nicer with age I'm sure.

We had a lovely day. My instructions last night when planning this trip was that we had no room for more broms so don't buy any. This morning his edict had changed to "if there are any nice foliage vriseas I could get a couple and I will find room for them." So I followed instructions and got 6 and there was no agro when we got home. I think he was happy with his new babies.

Hello all. Beautiful pictures. I have more additions to my "collection" I think it has become a small collection now with around 80 broms and 14 tillandsias.
The latest are Till. juncea and Till. velutina plus 2 pups of the cute little Neo. liliputiana. Havent taken their photo yet but the stripes are quite lovely on the neo.
