A great venue, plenty of shade for the meeting and a huge array of plants. Members where overheard commenting on the work that had been done there since our visit last year. The garden is a credit to them, neat and well layed out. Dave gave a good demonstration on various bromeliad seeds & information on the best way to raise those seeds, potting mediums etc. Bob handed out some tillandsia seeds for us to try our luck. I have smeared mine on a coconut husk and am misting it twice a day as instructed, so fingers crossed! * Really well grown plants were entered in both Popular Vote and Mini Shows. The cold winter gave superb vibrant colour to the neoregelias. Rob’s clump of Neo. pauciflora was really dark, almost black. The red colouring in other plants was vivid, they really glowed. * The tillandsias were worth a good look - June’s gardneri had a huge head of flowers, Dave’s ‘Marron’ was nearly on fire, Brendan’s clump of usneoides was huge and Bob’s mallemontii x crocata smelled very sweet. Mini Show – Neoregelia + Mini Neoregelia 1st. Neoregelia ‘De Rolf’ - Darryl Lister 2nd. Neoregelia ‘Enchantment’ - Dave Weston 3rd. Neoregelia ‘Dr Oeser’ variegated - Bernice Mark Mini 1st. Neoregelia pauciflora - Rob Giddins 2nd. Neoregelia ‘Pheasant’ - Brendan Leishman 3rd. Neoregelia mini hybrid - Dave Weston Popular Vote – Novice Bromeliad 1st.

Joan is sharing her year between Kiwiland and Oz - lucky girl, two of the best countries in the world! * We had an excellent array of vrieseas and guzmanias in the mini show - well done each entrant and congratulations to the winners. * The tillandsia section was very interesting with varied shapes and growth habits to show members. Personally Nalda’s ‘Curly Slim‘ won me. It was neat and clearly showed the parents - the curls of streptophylla with the stiffer leaves of intermedia and had a spent mother right angled at the base. Dave’s ‘Marron’ was far more red than in September and Marguerite’s velutina x fasciculata had soft apricot colouring from velutina. Other eye candy was capitata, fasciculata, streptophylla and several forms of flowering ionanthas. * Points are allotted - 3 for 1st. 2 for 2nd. & 1 for 3rd. a total of 6 points. As three cryptanthus each scored six votes each is allotted 2 points. In bromeliad section 1st. gets 3, two tied for 2nd. so they each get 1.5 points and there is no 3rd. * For members to see such a variety is not only eye candy, it is also educational and as we discuss them they learn how to successfully cultivate them. Please bring your plants to meetings, some members would not otherwise see these gems. POPULAR VOTE NOVICE: Bromeliad 1st. Guzmania ‘Optima’ – John Mark 2nd. Neoregelia “Inkwell’ – Bernice Mark 3rd.

Vriesea ‘Galaxy’ - Bernice Mark 2nd Vriesea ‘Splenriet’ - Darryl Lister Guz.‘Tutti Frutti‘ Guz.‘Optima‘ 3rd.Vriesea ospinae var. gruberi – Paul Venturi Guzmania 1st. Guzmania ‘Tutti-Frutti’ – Darryl Lister 2nd. Guzmania ‘Kapoho Fire’ – Gail Taifalos 3rd. Guzmania ‘Optima’ – John Mark We saw beautiful vrieseas, the largest being Vriesea gigantea var siedeliana grown by Dave Weston with good markings. Next in size was Bernice’s ‘Galaxy’, closely followed by Darry’s ‘Splenriet’ - it is huge with wide leaves. Paul asked how he would remove the offset of ospinae var. gruberi, as it has developed close to the top. General consensus was leave it to grow as a bunch. In guzmanias the smallest was Guzmania lingulata minor, then ‘Kapoho Fire’ and the larger ones ‘Optima’ and ‘Tutti-Frutti’. I find the large ones very strong, they grow and flower easily with little attention. The smaller ones take more care to keep their thinner leaves and inflorescences intact and excel when fed well. ! Both vrieseas and guzmanias have leaves that are without thorns or “entire”, guzmanias usually have fine red stripes at their base. Both genera need to be grown in sheltered positions out of midday sun, they feed through their roots as well as their leaves, therefore need a soft mix. I use scoria for drainage, pine bark and good potting mix in a ratio of ⅓ each. Both genera respond well to feeding, both at the base and with foliar feeding. Foliar feed at 1/4 recommended strength. *************************************************************************** !! ! Bloomin Broms 2012 Members Bloomin Broms Questionaire Survey Results.

[email protected] Lynn “Lifted from the Web” !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 From the Web in Bromeliad Cultivar Registry - http://registry.bsi.org Notes from Chester Skotak May 2010. !!!!!!!! * Neoregelia 'Tiger' (now ‘Skotak’s Tiger’) was found in Rio de Janeiro state, Estrada Marica, Itaborai , …. The true location was first discovered by Rafael Oliveira de Faria and Chester Skotak in 2004. These plants grow on rocks or as epiphytes. * Neoregelia 'Macho' was grown and collected by Luiz (Luis) Correia de Araujo. He had them growing in giant clay pots around the restaurant he owned at the time. Several people brought back pups in the 90s, including me. The plant was found in Vargem Grande, Rio de Janeiro state. * Neoregelia 'Silver' was being grown at Pedro Nahoum’s nursery. I spoke with him recently about this Neo and he told me he acquired the plant from Roberto Menescal. It was collected in Vargem Grande also. * Neoregelia 'Rainbow' (now ‘Rainbow Carcharodon’)was found near Santa Maria de Madalena around 1995, Rio de Janeiro state. It was growing on rocks at the garbage dump. It should be noted that these species are usually not found in colonies but as individuals or only a few plants and seem to be quite rare where they are found, leaving one to wonder how they even manage to propagate in the wild. // (Ed) I have found these plants to be slow growers so the last statement does not surprise me.

We would like to start this issue with an apology for its late arrival to you. Unfortunately, we experienced an unexpected delay in the arrival of replacment parts for the copying equipment. The good news this issue is of course that spring is upon us again, and with it the regrowth of our dormant varieties ready to come forward and show off their beauty for yet another year.

There is enough experienced c.p. growers in Australia capable of contributing write-ups to ensure the success of the CPNA for many years to come, but if the lack of interest continues the newsletter is doomed to failure.

  • VARIEGATION in BROMELIADS (By Luiz Felipe Nevares De Carvalho)
    VARIEGATION IN BROMELIADS (by Luiz Felipe Nevares de Carvalho) Editorial comment (Bob Reilly) Reprinted, with permission of the Bromeliad Society International, from the Journal of The Bromeliad Society, 2000, volume 50 (4), pp. 182-185. Variegated bromeliads are often keenly sought after by collectors. In this article, the author discusses the causes and types of variegation, as well as the propagation of variegated bromeliads. Note that the process of naming a particular variegated plant can sometimes be more complex than might be inferred from the article. Variegation is a rather common phenomenon in the plant kingdom, and is found in many plant families. It is especially pronounced in Bromeliaceae. The word “variegata” comes from Latin – variegatuus, variegata, variegatum – meaning variable coloration with patches of different colors. A bromeliad is known as “variegata” when it has two or more different colors. Over 60% of cultivated bromeliads have bands, dots, lines, and streaks, and can therefore be considered variegated. However, the term is accepted in horticulture, when applied to bromeliads that have lines, streaks and longitudinal bands of contrasting colors, especially those that show differences in pigmentation between the green chlorophyll-containing tissues and albino tissues. On the other hand, if we look at the many bromeliads that grow in the wild, it appears that variegation is a rare phenomenon. As a general rule, patently variegated plants are less hardy and slower growing than normal, and those that arise spontaneously in nature normally survive the competition for space and light only when man intervenes, taking them from the wild for cultivation. Variegation is rarely found in the subfamily Pitcairnioideae, and is not particularly common in Tillandsioideae.

But these stunning and statement-making plants 9th Avenue at Lincoln Way are large, expensive, and difficult to install, resulting in San Francisco unique design challenges. In Designing with Palms, palm expert Jason Dewees details every major aspect of designing and caring for palms. Jason shares his expertise in plants, and especially palms, with designers, landscape architects, botanical garden curators, municipalities, and gardeners, always with an eye to design. Jason helps identify and source the best varieties based on the design intention and requirements, growing conditions, and market availability. Roger Lane has signed up for refreshments this month.
