Belinda is really funny! She only likes red or yellow flowering Broms, no spikes and doesn't much like Neos! (shock, horror) She also has a passion for the Vriesea hybrids with mottled/banded/mosaic patterned foliage. I had to laugh as she read her list and Neil replied that most of the plants she desired were in the hundreds of dollars, and that he didn't posess them! I'll say one thing for her, she has good taste!
Neil managed to find her some small seedling Vrieseas of the type with patterned foliage, (V. 'Heiroglyphica', V. 'Nova' and other such)
I went beserk and said," I'll have one of those, and one of those, and 3 of those", and kept Neil on his toes, running to and from my collection forming at the front door.
