My sister, Connie and I went to Betty Bloomers the other day and I found several new bromeliads. I don't have any idea of the names of these but would like to add them to my journal here with proper ID's.

I've always been a big bromeliad fan. Have had some that my oldest sister gave me 16 years ago when we moved into this house. Started out as 1 and now there are many. I have attached some of them to deadwood trees over the years. I'm about to do the same with some wispy ones I bought the other day.

Here is the first one.

This bromeliad is about 8 inches tall from the dirt to the tip of the plant on the top. The leaves are coated with what looks like white turbanado sugar.

Can I cut that plant off the top to add to my upandcoming bromeliad tree?

Thanks for any help on the IDs.

Janet

There is a close up shot of the top plant later in in this thread.
