Recommend book on broms?

20 years ago

I'm looking for a good ID book on broms. I have a bunch of them but ID escapes me. Most are from trades, some purchased.. Since they grow so well & are so carefree I'm always expanding my collection. Now if I can just identify them! Tropica is an OK source but would prefer more colorful reference. Thanks tons!

beachplant; The latest book out is by Andrew Steen;"Bromeliads for the Contemporary Garden".Most others are out of print.The one above is obtainable at Amazon.com,or Tropiflora nursery,(www.tropiflora.com)at $29.95,and is very much worth it. Another very good source is by Ulrich Baensch,"Blooming Bromeliads",but is out of print and much more expensive,usually over $100. You may find it at Amazon.com selling as 'used',and it would be much less. For FREE info,go to www.fcbs.org (Florida Council Bromeliad Society) and just feast on the information and color photos there.Hope this helps,Bob C.
