Time to start moving the plants inside. The weather forecast is for temps in the 30's (F) this weekend, and possible frost Monday AM. I need a little break, though, and thought I'd share a few recent photos.

This was first to bloom from a grex of Aechmea chantinii 'Black' x zebrina. It's not my favorite selection with regards to foliage marking, but it's exciting to finally see a bloom! The Ae. zebrina influence came through pretty strong in the inflorescence.

This is the best new flowering Vriesea for me this year.
