Hi there, sorry but do not know the name of them, I was at relatives place over Christmas and was taken back by the beauty of their bromeliads, had a phone with me so I took a snap shot so I could show some friends. They loved them too. :o)
Added two extra pics, thanks to my mothers green thumbs.
The pond, he he, I just walk up snapped, walked off, matter of 2 seconds, didn't give it a second thought, when I got home and developed the film... it is now and has been my wall paper on the pc for more than a year. lol. (wishing that I was at the batch)
**** Yes, it is real and is my mothers creation. (Dad dug the pond with a digger, mum planted the plants.)

I became interested in bromeliads back in 2007 after friends gave me a couple of plants which looked fantastic in flower. Since then I've 'got the bug' and have collected quite a few more which I've had to make space for in the garden. The named plants I've either bought from commercial growers, such as Exotica, or figured them out myself from the Andrew Steen books.
I live in a remote area of the North Hokianga, close to river and bush, so it didn't take my husband long to drag over 30 old ponga stumps down with the tractor, and it's been fun getting these into position and considerably altering the landscape. I'm a keen photographer and the hardest part has been to keep the number of photos to some sort of reasonable minimum.
