Puerto Rico trip coming up soon!

20 years ago

Thats right! My next trip to PR is closing in! This time around I will be collecting mainly broms and epis, I will try my best to get extras as some of you have stated an interest in the "Papa Gayo" that I have growing in my set up, It has grown huge! Ill try to post pics tomorrow, I am currently looking for the perfect aquarium to set up as a PDF tank, mostly broms and epis and some kind of ground cover, dont know what yet and am open to suggestions, I would like (as a ground cover) something that can be grown easily in a tropical set up, will keep you guys up to date =)

Hi
Sounds like a fantastic trip. Have never been there but got close once (VI) lol There is an orchid vendor there that I would love to visit has the most remarkable list.
So tempted with a Coelogyne pandurata.lol.
Wouldn't winter be a better time to visit?? Probably not cooler but no hurricanes lol.
Good luck with your trip !!

Callisia are cool.

Not too sure. Maybe. If not,surely someone around here has some to trade. There are "exchange" pages all over the place. Were it me though,i'd be checking the Home Depots and Walmarts first. I have no idea what's available for sale in Pa. Good luck!

Well, Im off to the island tomorrow morn! YIPPY!YAHOO! and YEHAA! Im going to bring back at least two Coqie frogs and hope they do well as my frogs (besides the dislocated leg insident) are doing super great! (at last!LOL!) They have a species that live in small trees and brush and only come down to feed, Ill enlist the help of the local children that always know where to find a specific critter =) Ill let you guys know how things went when I get back =)
