The first thing he did was offer us a cup of Tea! Yes Please! We could already see bromeliads everywhere. Neil obviously was collecting tree stumps and burls from the surrounding bush, and most were covered in Lichen and Small Neo's.
At the front door we had to step over a bunch of brom's that Neil had pulled for a customer who was due to visit in a day or so. We were welcome to select any from that batch, as they were fairly common and were priced from $3-$7, potted!
With our mugs of tea in hand, we ventured out the back door into wonderland! broms everywhere, only enough space to walk between, and only just!
It was a bit overwhelming and we just wandered for a bit, with Neil fielding our questions about the species and cultivational requirements of each.
Once Neil was aware of our plant likes and wants (we each had well researched lists) he endeavored to find us the plants on out lists or ones very similar. Of course he aslo had plants we hadn't seen before and bought them to our attention.
