From a Saturday trip to maestro John Arden's house. All these beauties are his creations.

I followed gonzer to John Arden's bromeliad eden, and look what followed me home!  (I think the trash cans lend a certain je ne sais quoi to the grouping, don't you?)

Kim,

Thanks for the heads up on this.  Took the whole family out there on Saturday and my wife really went crazy.  I would take a photo of everything, but it definitely wouldn't fit in one photo...19 brom's and 2 orchids.   She's not too big on palms, but I've caught her out staring at our new Broms several times now.  She even complained that there were a couple things she wanted but didn't get.

Looks like we got some of the same stuff, the Jungle Jade, sweet success, and I see what I think is a Laelia autumnalis on your trash can.  Are those two little guys in front the Vrieslandia 'twin brother'?  I also got one of those.  The prices were pretty unbelievable, I actually felt sort of guilty how little we paid.
