Flower Show

The local bromeliad fanciers were having a show and sale today at the mall. How easy it would be to become obsessed with collecting and growing these plants, with their seemingly endless variations on color and size!

They are quite hardy, but each plant only blooms once in its lifetime. The inflorescence lasts for months, so it's worth the wait. After the "mother" blooms, she produces a "pup" by her side that grows into the new plant.

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!
