Hi Pooky.
Let me see.
Not sure if I know the names of all of the them, although I have seen all of them in my lifetime. There is simply just too many names to remember off hand.
DSC03771.jpg - ?
DSC03779.jpg - Cymbidium Species (Orchid)
DSC04239.jpg - Chrysanthemum paludosum
DSC04267.jpg - Osteospermum Hybrid
DSC04322.jpg - ?
DSC04328.jpg - Gerbera (Barberton Daisy)
DSC04382.jpg - Gazania Hybrid (Looks like Gazania Daybreak Orange)
DSC04401.jpg - Neoregelia Species
DSC04423.jpg - Dendrobium Species (Same family as the Orchid)
DSC04437.jpg - Seen it, but cant think of the name now.
DSC04448.jpg - Guzmania Species
DSC04464.jpg - Tillandsia Pink Hybrid. Got this one in my own garden. Stunning!
DSC04600.jpg - Aechmea Species
Quite difficult to differentiate between the different "Bromelaid" Species of Neoregelia, Guzmania, Tillandsia, Aechmia, Nidularium, Vriesea, Cryptanthus, Billbergia and Ananas etc. Not even sure if one could categorise those all into the Bromelaid Family (would need to check), but they look similar and grouped together in the same part of the garden make for a stunning show of foliage and flowers that simply last for ages. Well worth having and they can grow in more shaded parts of the garden which is a welcome change from the usual shade plants like Hydrangeas, Fuchsia, Agapanthus and Plectranthus etc. They also do well in pots. Once you have a nice range of Bromelaids in your garden you will never look back.
Hope this helps. If the other names come to me I will add them in.
Regards,
BTTB.
