Other flowers

Post by Harriet »

This is a good time of year for some unusual (for this forum) plants in my yard:

A bromeliad:

Never have ID'd this one, but it blooms at Christmastime, and is pretty gaudy!

A new addition, a Cameila (Marie Bracy):

I may post more if the orchids are still pretty!

I've shown you mine, you should show me yours!

I wonder if your brom is Billbergia nutans. I have grown it for many years and the flowers are very similar if not the same if I am remembering correctly.

Very similar, but mine has bronzey-green leaves with spots!
