Surprise bloom
This bromeliad always takes me by surprise when it blooms. It is like a surprise lily - it just magically appears one day. I caught a glimpse of pink this morning on the patio and there it was.
I've had this plant for years. I keep it in the house during the winter and put it outside in the spring. I always water it inside the leaves. That's all I do and I'm familiar with the rules of growing one.
I'll post another photo when the flower opens. It is quite dramatic.

I just love surprises in the garden. This is a beauty. I have never had a bromeliad rebloom for me. Lucky you. Can't wait to see it in full flower.
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, That's exciting to see a surprise bloom, especially one so beautiful. I know you're enjoying the cooler temperatures.

ReplyDeleteI love surprise blooms. They are the sweetest. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty, you know I should get some for winter color in the house. Do they tolerate the dry air inside during winter?
ReplyDeleteRandy, they do. I've not had any problems with them inside.
