surprize!

I ventured into the backyard yesterday to checkout the wheelbarrow load of bromeliads.

Helen brought them back from Sydney after visiting her mum.

There is a small spent flower at the front and I was wondering what it would look like fresh. I didn't have to look far to find out. I had found a similar plant just dumped in the bush, barely alive, on top of a stack of rubbish. I placed it in the space between the trees in the back yard. It seemed to do okay there and even produced a pup. I went to check if it had changed since I've been away and there behind the profusion of impatiens I beheld the glory of the full blooming bromeliad!!

I definitely have enough to share Steve so you will be taking some back home when you come up next.
