Bromeliads in the landscape, during the Bromeliad Summit

I saw an amazing collection of gardens during the Bromeliad Summit last April in Santa Barbara (this one, and this one, and this one, for example). While they all featured a few plants in the bromeliad family, the biggest display of what I traditionally think of as bromeliads was in a garden I wrote about earlier in the month, in this post. Since I can't name most of them—Alcantarea imperialis (Vriesea imperialis), below, being the single exception—this is just going to be an eye-candy post.

No words, just photos...well okay, other than to say, can you imagine being able to grow these plants in the ground? Outside in your garden, year-round? Ya, it must be amazing. As cold weather is on the horizon and I've spent a good deal of time over the last couple of days bringing in my bromeliads, I'm especially envious.



Tree ferns and bromeliads make a nice pairing, don't you agree?

Yes, I could be very happy living here...
