Bromeliads are the floral aristocrats
of the rain forest. They display an incredible range of form and size and, when they
bloom, an impressive palette of extraordinary colors. These plants are native to the
tropical and subtropical areas of the Americas, the majority indigenous to South
America. Most of them grow as air plants on the trunks and branches of trees. Some species
wrap their roots around porous rocks, while others, such as the pineapple and "earth
stars," grow in the soil.
Although I love all flowering exotic
plants, my passion is collecting and growing bromeliads. I am attracted to their unusual
shapes, extraordinary markings, ravishingly exotic flowers and brilliant bracts, some of
which last six months. The colorful berries on some species are extraordinarily
eye-appealing.
In recent years, the fascinating Tillandsia's have become my
favorite. Their bizarre shapes make them suitable for mounting, resulting in unique plant
mobiles, which provide great points of interest in the greenhouse.
To obtain unusual and rare species, I recommend joining plant
societies. These organizations promote plant and seed exchanges and provide information on
the culture of these plants.
In the last few years I have become totally obsessed with conifers
by creating a Conifer
Wildlife Habitat - Conifers from around the world grown in
Michigan, USA.

Before you buy plants, try to
research the cultural conditions and how to provide them.
Select plants that will grow in
the environment you can supply.
For more cultural information, growing tips and solving problems,
I recommend to contact your local Bromeliad Society.
