Peggy, welcome to the forum! I turned a mess of invasive plants in the backyard into my "Bromeliad Wonderland" as I like to call it. I recently thinned some of mine and tried to organize them a little better. I'll have to get out and take some pictures soon. I have a cluster of billbergia saundersii that are just poking out their blooms. Except one bloomed last week (see pic below). Don't you love Florida? Plants don't seem to understand it's December. This forum is also a great way to obtain plants as most of us love to trade. My dad is a mailman and I trade with two guys on his route. This morning I sent Dad off with a vriesea and a guzmania for each of them. I have a few guzmanias that have pupped like crazy so I'll probably be on here soon trying to trade them. Welcome to the club!
