Hi bromsofnq,

No broms in sight. Your photos should show in the preview, before posting. HDD has helped many of us with a lesson on posting photos for this site. Firstly, you need to set up a free account with Photobucket.

HDD - will you post that helpful link again, please?

Cheers,
Kerry (of n nsw)

1. Set up your private account with a free photo hosting site(like photo bucket or webshots)
2. Load your pictures to your photo site.
3. To post on GW in the chat box, under each photo are several web addy's...the HTML is the one you need copy and paste straight in with your written GW post. You can paste several photo's by repeating these steps. This does require you have two explorer windows open at the same time. One with free photo account and one for GW especially if you post multiple photo's

Hope you all don't mind me stepping in and trying HDD's instructions. I'm new to this forum but not new to broms. If this works, it should post a picture of my old backyard in Huntington beach Calif. If it doesn't.....well back to the old drawing board.

Great plants, I do like the group of Vriesea, and the spanish moss sets them off nicely...espec the little one that looks like Vr. gigantea seideliana.

Are the two large plants at the bottom of the photo Alcanatrea?

You are 100% correct!

here is my current residence. You have to look harder for the broms but they're in there. I will post a few close ups tomorrow. Cheers!

Current residence...Are you moving? After getting building such a paridise?

The pictures were worth waiting for, I would love to see some more.

Thanks,

Rick

Ditto on Rick's comment. More please?

I really like your display, you are a master at hiding the pots, I suppose all the larger broms are in pots, but the look is very natural.

I also tried to use the spanish moss, but the birds love it for building their nests and a bunch sells here for 6-10 euros!

Tomas

WOW!

What has happened to the original postlady of this post?

Having trouble with posting photos, bromsofnq? I have the feeling you were also at the WBC in Cairns.....am I right?

Cheers,
Kerry

To HDD: I actually built my latest from scratch. Nothing but dirt patch when I bought. I have one last paradise to build... to Tomas, I am a bit of a landscape nut, I do like to hide those pots! for those who wanted more, here are a few more photos:

Well with your talent I hope you will post before and after photos of your next project.

Spectacular! The landscapes are great! but how about a few more plant close ups like last night's first 18:59PM post. Do I see some Vriesea hybrids from John Arden and David Shiigi?

Fantastic garden, Jhans4. Thanks for sharing. We would love to see more of your paradise and plants close up as well!
To bromsofng, good luck with the photos- don't give up!

A few closeup's (Tilly's):

{{gwi:477299}}

Good golly, jhans4, way to come on here with a bang! Where are you located?

Can we get greedy and ask for a few names to go with the pics, so we know what to order next time we go shopping?!

Thanks for all the nice compliments! I have been following all of your posts for a couple of months now and decided to finally join in on the fun. Lisa, I live in Southern California, in South Orange County. As for the names of the plants, if you click on the pictures it should take you right to the photos. I have put the names up on most of them. There are some additional photos out there as well.
