I work for the county and the building next door is partially ours too. That's probably why our plants are so mediocre. Government never has money for those nice little extras. I'm sure the taxpayers would complain or there'd be some journalist doing an exposee about our excessive spending on plants to decorate our lobby. : )

I notice guzmanias tend to pup like crazy. It's funny, I picked that one up at the USF Botanical Gardens plant sale. I liked it because it was pretty. Well, there were two sitting there and I picked one up. The guy starts talking to me about it and I say what a good deal it is. It was about $10, but there were all these pups on it! There was a lady near me listening, and she said, "I think I'll take the other one!" When I separated them the other day I felt like I was just peeling layers and layers off of it. Here's a pic of it with some of my other bromeliads hanging out in the background.
