GARDEN BLOGGERS MONTHLY BOUQUET ~ TROPICAL LAST HURRAH
With the threat of freezing weather this time of year, it's no problem picking what's blooming since it will be dead and crunchy anytime now. I made an early Christmas Bouquet with green and red and some white 'snow' mixed together. I also made anTropical Bouquet from the Bromeliads that bloom this time of year.

Mexican fire spike with variegated Alstroemeria (comes up wild in my yard)
Aechmea and some other unusual bromeliads.

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteEEEK! I love the aechmea gamosepala bouquet and just had to share this on facebook! I got vase rot in my matchstic bromeliads, and only one ended up putting up a flower spike. :(
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and what billbergia do you have thats blooming this time of year?
ReplyDeleteHey Rainforest,
ReplyDeleteI had to look it up and I think it's Billbergia nutans. There are two varieties and I have the one with lots of green speckles on the leaves. It's good down to 21 degrees. Believe it or not, I found it in a pot on the side of the road along with someone's garden trash!

Your arrangements are stunning. How right you were to all your blog Tropical Texana. I forgot one of my tropicals and was aghast to see it a shriveled mass yesterday morning.
ReplyDeleteWow! Those are awesome arrangements! Love the bromeliads!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your 'Christmas' bouquet! So very lush, it's like bringing a chunk of the garden indoors. We're covered in snow here so I'm missing greenery like crazy right now.
