@Sandy, I don't know if I sent Group hug your way. But, here it is, if I didn't. In the meantime, I hope that you and your family are not seriously impacted by the rains and flooding in Texas. Stay safe and dry. More Group hug Group hug

I should have some Lin. I found that by varying their pot size, I could control their growth to a great extent. The ones that went into 6-8" pots in the spring are twice as large (and many are blooming) than those in 4" pots. I also learned that those kept root bound in the 4" pots were much more likely to grow pups than those in larger pots. Since bromeliads don't feed much from their roots, I did not think that pot size would matter much. Lessons learned. Hurray!

Ken, Thanks! I will definitely be in touch late spring, early summer next year after getting settled into the new house. I'm sure I will more than likely find another one of your beautiful orchids jumping into my on-line cart too! Green Grin!

Do you still have these? I would give a home to 3 sets each of 3 for $10 of both Michii and VooDoo Doll. Let me know.

Thanks,

Me, drdawg, Sharon. I only have a handful left and they are basically extra-large ones. I have shipped out over 50. T-Mail me.

@ibisfla, your bromeliads are all boxed up. I did not get the box finished in time for today's pick-up, so it will go out tomorrow. You should get it by the week-end.

If you're thinking about getting some bromeliads -- I ordered two of the large ones from Ken - they arrived today and they are spectacular ! I've never seen anything like these at Home Depot - that's for sure ! They were packed so well and arrived in excellent condition -- very glad I got these from Ken ! Hurray!

@froggiesgirl, were the bromeliads satisfactory?

Oh my, I keep looking at the photos of Michii and Voodoo Doll and I love them both, especially Michii. Lovey dubby I'm so tempted to order but with getting ready for the big move in a couple of months I really can't. Sad

'Voodoo Doll' has been gone for a month and I have only a handful of the 'Michi'. I will give you more chances later on, Lin, though they won't be these two jewels.
