I still like your garden bed & the way you display your brom, Gene. I have to think about where I can do something similar.....

And another one at the same time , it had flowered at approx the same time a year before .

If only magdalanae var. quadricolour could be foreced into flower at the same time ,,, what a cross if you could get variegation into petiolate foliage .

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Luis, how do you grow your 'Perfection' so get optimal color? I've heard conflicting advise. Mine, when grown in shade, color up like yours. In high light the color blanches out.

Thanks Pete!

Hi Gonzer, this Neoregelia requires lots of light and supports some soft sun (in the morning or noon) I think I have it in a sunny place and something that grows compact.The last summer a bit burned.This summer I want to put an additional shade cloth on top of which I have, I prefer have something less color but more healthy growth.You can see that some of my broms have sun overdose...

A pic of other brom, not colorfull, but one of my favorites, Quesnelia marmorata:

Q. marmorata is easily one of my favorites also Luis. (thanks for the info on Perfection)

I have tried to grow marmorata both by mounting and in a 50/50 mix of potting soil and orchid bark. Both methods produced less than satisfactory results. I then potted them in a 75% bark, 25% soil mix and the plants have rewarded me with more vigorous growth. No doubt due in part to their being VERY epiphytic.
