Bromeliad Aechmea nudicaulis Flavomarginata

 This bromeliad Aechmea nudicaulis Flavomarginata that I bought four weeks ago at the La Ballona Valley Bromeliad Show, is sending up a bloom.  And it looks just like the seller said it would!

White Epiphyllum with Five Blooms!

 This white Epiphyllum is looking amazing, with five blooms at the same time.  The blooms look great and I wished they lasted longer. than a day or two.  This particular plant is growing right next to the road.  I hope drivers slow down and give it a quick glance.  Fortunately it's just high enough and back enough, that the dog walkers and their dogs won't be causing any damage.  :)
