That's one I was thinking of stopping at on Saturday after RPR. To add to Jean's advice on the bromeliads, they have small root systems, so they will fill pots very slowly. It can be hard to balance the pot with the top growth, so I use clay or ceramic pots, or a small pot stashed in larger one.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-62260530887749551682015-05-12T22:10:05.297-07:002015-05-12T22:10:05.297-07:00So glad you all enjoyed your visit.
