Booty from da Box

20 years ago

My heartfelt thanks to Bob for turning us on to those Billbergia beauties from the BBG. My first order came in 2 days! Here are the newbies along with a new plant from Michael's; L -R

Manda's Othello x Pink Champagne

Bunniss Factor

Limestone

Incendiary Delight

Calcite

Ivory Tower

Peach Sherbet

the Tillandsias are 'Ruby Slippers' (T.ionantha var. van-hyningii x T.caput medusae 'red form') and 'Durrell' (T.limbata x T. bulbosa 'small form')

Very cool plants in person. Bihai, now we know where Bunniss Factor is.

Yup, some good ones!

My nose was slightly out of joint when he used the name 'Ivory Tower', because I was just waiting for the right Bill to use that on and he beat me to it, but I have to say that plant is aptly named.

Very nice selection gonzer. A little bit of 'Billbergia Heaven',yes? Those are neat Tils too.
I hope we get to see these in bloom one day soon.
Will you be leaving them in pots,or planting them in ground? And will you be hiring a watchman and guard dog to keep them safe while you catch some zzzz's? ;)
