Dont leave water in the cup of a bloomed out Neo.

hdd, could you explain that last one please?

Don't stick you hand in the middle of a clump of Bromelia balianse without checking for the rattlesnake FIRST. You get to keep your hand that way.

You can leave water in the cup of a bloomed-out Neo, just don't drink it. Or get it in your eye. Or on your clean clothes. Or in your shoe.

Is that simple enough? ;-)

ROT! clear as mud?

Pups are not just baby doggies, but also a name for baby bromeliads: they are offsets from the mother.

They can be separated when they are at least half to two-thirds the size of the mother.

Simple tip for simple people:
'Water from a rotting Neo. cup, when rubbed on face and hands,makes Excellent mosquito repellent'

Bob it also will make you smell like a sewer

How can it be a mosquito repellant if mosquitos are laying their eggs in it? I'd think it would be a pretty good human repellant, though.

Well,that one seemed to go all wrong.
That was the point. You'd have to be 'simple' to fall for that one. Even a skunk would avoid you with that stuff on.Yucck !! ;))

Just call me 'simple'

D'OH!

I thought it was along the same lines as your squirrel/deer repellant recipe. I'm not going to try that one on mosquitos! ;-)

Speaking of feeble minds, somebody asked me at the Farmer's Market last night if the color in the center of the Neos was from them being spray painted. He said a friend of his had told him that's how it's done.

LOL. Yeah, just like those blue poinsettias.

Why does Hawaii have interstate highways Lisa?

Let ants do the pollinating job while your Dickias are in bloom,
after the plant setting seed pod...kill them all !!!

What, you don't know about the tunnel, gonzer? ;-)

Yeah, everybody wonders the same thing. I guess it's because if they're built with federal funds they have to be officially part of the interstate system.

Cans of spraypaint !! Of course!!
Sooo,...Lisa,that explains your amazing colorfully spotted and barred hybrids. Your secret is out !
