Now I am thinking of a favorite play, West Side Story, "I just met a girl named Mariaaaaaa."

May you find that "pot of gold" at the end of your rainbow...
just don't miss all the beautiful colors of that rainbow while you're looking.

Happy April Fool's! Smiling

At the end of the spring plant sale when a rain shower started, I bought all the rest of the bromeliads!

I don't know what they are!

So the joke is on me!

I hope not!

I hope they will be beautiful broms!

We have cooler temps tonight, so I may need to cover them for the cooler air that is blowing in!

TT, Congratulations on your new bargains! 👍
Your new 3 Bromeliads in photo with the green leaf and white margin along leaf edge looks to be Billbergia pyramidalis 'Kyoto'. Flowering and pupping will aid in positive ID.

Scott, thanks for info! I will be happy if they are Kyoto Hurray! The flowers always look so colorful here!

Now I know what to Google for info!

Some of the broms at home look a bit tattered after Feb freeze!

I will be happy for a fresh start 😊!

February Breeze sounds better than April freeze. Yikes it is 42 degrees here this morning. Brrrrrrrrrr

Wishing all a warm Eastertide.

Brrr Alice. It was 48F here at dawn the past two mornings, the wind yesterday was crazy. Looks like some days ahead though.
Nice finds TT, I thought the three larger plants were B. pyramidalis, Scott has confirmed it.

When I googled Kyoto, it took me to NGA page for info. I saw Scott's pics
This is a great reference, especially from people with personal experience with the plants! Smiling

I put towels over new broms with the morning temps in 40s. Now they're saying we may reach 80 this week!

Thanks for the thumbs ups and the acorn! I need to work on my larger bromeliads in pots to trim them after the Feb freeze!
I have also seen new growth! Thumbs up
