Hi Y'all.
Sorry I lost track of the bromeliads.
Mine haven't bloomed and phone hasn't worked, until now!

I didn't see the November thread,
So I posted here for Veterans Day!

Veterans and first responders can be celebrated every day!

There are 2 bromeliads in photo!

Scott, you always do great photos with messages, graphics, & broms!

Thanks to all for the thumbs 👍 up,
and the acorn Scott!

I thought that was the first time this billbergia bloomed. When I scrolled photos, I see previous blooms that also show the speckled leaves!

TT, I am not great with Id's with the Billbergias, as I think many of them look alike and light conditions can change their coloration greatly.
Looking at this photo Billbergia 'Fandango' comes to mind. Thinking

She is a beauty, good choice Scott. With all the hype about the new West Side Story I have been humming "Maria" all day.

Beautiful Bloom!

I don't know why we don't see more Broms for holidays!
Poinsettias and Christmas cactus seem to be the festive flowers.

The local flower/garden shop has bromeliads in displays.
Bromeliad blooms and colors work well in festive florals!
