Wow...you got me, Patris, me too, I really love that Agave-like Bromilia !
I just received another xeric one, Bromelia flemingii, from Dr Larry last year.

Hey,Patris...thanks for the additional inspiring photos,just when we Northeasterner's need them the most.
(very cold,snow,wind...yech!)
Excellent pics,and nice photography.
Where are these plants coming from for your new GH ?
They sure are beauties. I too very much like that Bromelia one.I've always had a weak spot for the odd looking or rare, hard to find broms. Even if they are hard to grow,like high altitude types,I've enjoyed the challenge,and the time spent here,tho they don't always make it. But when they adapt and prosper,bloom and pup,its a good feeling of accomplishment. Thanks for the post.

It's always nice to see pretty pictures. Never hesitate to post a photo of a gorgeous brom!

Nice pictures and selection, Patris! I've never seen that Bromelia either, but it is definitely cool. I can't find it listed anywhere, but I feel pretty certain the name must be "agavifolia".

Same with the Portea-- I've never heard of P. grandibracteata. It looks kind of like a form of P. alatisepala, of which there are apparently quite a few, but it could be a new species. Where did these plants come from?

Some 400+ broms and tills. are being donated by John Andersons wife. All the red tags you might have noticed are ones marked for the gardens. Johns collection is so massive and impressive his plants should give a great showing for the gardens.

It is also a wonderful way to honor the Andersons for all the hard work and love put in to collecting and caring for these beauties.

Will have more photos for ya'll in a day or so.

Great pics Patris. Everytime I see JC Superstar, I get the song stuck in my head all day! (from the play). It has been called plain 'ol "Superstar" out here of late so's as not to offend any of the religious (over-zealous) right who may happen to collect broms.
