Beautiful blooms Carter. Is that possibly Billbergia Windii? I have that plant but it has not bloomed yet.

And your large brom is cool. Nice to know you can keep it potted too regardless of size.
Carol ~ that is beautiful color on your Merlot. I did some research and was amazed at how huge it can grow. The Hawaiian site that had the info also said it will live a long time after blooming. Very pretty.
As I said, I am envious of all who can grow these outdoors year around.
