I went to a bromeliad show run by the Brommy Society of NSW. The brom pups cost anywhere from about $8 to $15 each, some of the bigger plants were much more but I wasn't going to be blowing my budget on really big stuff, specially when I figured they were going to grow anyway ;) Well except for the dwarfy varieties.
So I've finally gotten round to taking a few pics of my favourite purchases:
I've also got the whole corner full of pots at the moment, which looks pretty cute. I need to put some more white gravel down, it always was spread a little thin, and the pots were spaced nicely until the local cats decided to knock them all over. I'm working on ways to make them more stable, but for now I've crammed them all together. It's a work in progress.
This is my pot full of succlents... I'm thinking I really need to get the big one into its own pot - it was about 20% of its current size when I first got it. Time for a new home soon! The little stripy one was a gifty from mum, and the little tiny one about to spill over the front edge was a piece that actually fell off a plant in the nursery when I poked it (oops) and rather than leaving it to die on the ground I brought it home, and it's growing. LOL. It's David's favourite, mostly because it was so tiny at the start and he didn't think it'd grow, and because it was "stolen". *grin*
Finally, the broms I got last year from mum are pupping, how exciting! Baby broms!!!
