Wow, I think I need to go shopping in Pennsylvania!! It's amazing what treasures you are finding at Lowes for $1.00! That Bromeliad is stunning and nice Croton too! I couldn't find a listing in the database for your Croton (Codiaeum variegatum 'Lauren's Rainbow') so I entered a proposal to add it.
Please post photos of your Bromeliad Tree when you get it done!
