The Broms are looking good at Kew today, so I thought I'd share them with you.

They do look good! I especially like the grey Tillandsias!

Thanks! Dyckias are so aggressive looking in the ground. I am growing mine in 10" pots--easier to control.

On a trip to NW Argentina last November we saw thousands of Dyckias covering the hillsides. It was quite a sight. This is just a small sample.

I would love to see that sight. Maybe one day......
Thanks

I agree. It would be great to see them in the wild.
