Hello all,

For those that have been following my posts of the Botanical Gardens (bbg),you know that the one dome is being remodled,new glass,pavement,plants,etc. Well its almost ready for the plantings,with the live trees planted,and the large tree trunks placed,ready to receive the bromeliad collection.

So here are the first photos,just something to give you an idea of the 'beginning'.And as we progress,I'll post updates.

About 1/2 of the bromeliad collection,from Michael's, awaiting their new tree homes.

The tree trunks are not finished,as holes will be drilled to install branches on them to look like natural growth,and then the bromeliads will be attached.

These trees were on the property when we got that heavy October snowfall that damaged so many.So they were cut down,and will now be part of the epiphyte house display.
