for keeping us posted Mellanie, I am in Tampa and USF is surely within my area. I am cheap though, I don't like paying an entrance fee plus I still have to spend money to buy plants 😍 and eat.
Speaking of Tillandsia I bought 3 this week. I've never had one before. Every Thursday now, downtown Tampa plaza has vendor sale now, great interesting plant and some other stuff but some (I think) were pricey. I can't blame them though because they have to pay a fee plus sit there all day. I could not miss it even if I want to, I could see the vendors little white tents from my office window.
Here are my Tillandsias (vases with succulents and cactus are mine) the vendor give me their variety names but I forgot.
This particular vendor was also selling plumerias ($6 and $10), great price but when you paint what you think is the color of the plumeria, I could not take my chances, I might have that Color already. He also sold some really nice bromeliads, I was sooo tempted but I hold off, I don't have room for them when they multiply fast and not fond of the sharp leaves.
