    Where are all your tags? It would be a lot easier to match the tags to the plants than to do a cold ID.

    i got about 5 tags that i could find sob sob they are billbergia pyamidalis, neoregelia olens vulcan+paucipato, Aechmea recurvata var benrathii, matchstick, and neoregelia leavis. the broms were achaly spread all over my yard so i have lost a fer fuw of them. as i live on a 32 acer block of land so who knows were the rest of the tags are.

    and oh yea devo i would love to give you my dogs not shore what my parants would say but. but i alread have decided that they do not have a green thumb as they already have eaten some of my broms and chewed all the bark of a hybiscus of mine.

    I agree with most of Japie's IDs, except for #57 (& #58), which looks more like Bill. Louise to me, and #34 could be a Portea, but I'm not sure. Vr. vagans also applies to #19.

    Also:
    #3 - Guz. Symphonie
    #29 - Vr. Carlsbad
    #30 - Neo. Painted Lady
    #43 - Ae. Royal Wine (?)

    It's simple - train the dogs, as there are no bad dogs only bad dog owners (don't let this get you down). I was a dog trainer long before a brom lover. What were the circumstances? Could they have been after something else? What other animals approach your property? LMK - I have some answers!
    Finally something I know!?!?

    lol paulth i have own 4 dogs so far all have been well behaved but these pups are a bit beondme (which i am gessing why they keep mucking up), any way you might have to give me some hints as i would have no idea on how 2 train a dog, for example i am finding it hard to teach them fetch u chuck the ball one will go grab it and chew it the other grabs it and gose annd hides in the kenal with it.

    anyway i notic number 5 is a bit blury and i think gonza because of my bad phertography and spelling you might have miss identified it. sorry about that here is a better pic of it

    ARGENTEA,
    IONANTHA,
    CAPIATA PEACH,
    BAIYLII,
    JUNCEA,
    JUNCIFOLIA,
    MAGNUSIANA,
    CAPUTMEDUSAE,
    BUTZII,

    MELOCRATER V.TRICOLOR,

    8+9 would be argentea IF they are the real thing. This is a rare plant, seldom, if ever sold, and is in reality it's look-alike fuchsii. Only flowering will tell.
    #11 is butzii (my mistake previously)
    14 would be juncifolia which is a non-recognized name for a form of juncea. A lot of folks still call it this though. 13 is tricolor var. melanocrate.
    14 is magnusiana.
    12 would be your brachycaulos, maybe.
    I don't see an ionantha 'Fuego' or a capitata 'Peach' in the mix. The first photo is a mystery. Get yourself a small notepad and write all your plants names in it. When hanging or mounting them, use aluminum tags (that you etch the names on) and attach it to the wire.

    Phil, try going to Goofbay.com, it will show you all the items you have won or bid on, on ebay in the last 120 days. It may take a while to load the page so just sit back and relax LOL! Hope it helps.

    Here is a link that might be useful: Goofbay
