  • 2016 November December Newsletter
    SSEMBSEMBS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN BROMELIAD SOCIETY AFFILIATE OF BROMELIAD SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL NOVEMBER – DECEMBER 2016 Tillandsia diaguitensis Cast. 1929, named for Diaguitas, the region where it was first found. Epiphytic in Argentina At our October meeting, we had a discussion about some of the challenges that we face here in Michigan to keep our bromeliads looking happy and healthy through the winter months. Some are obviously easier than others, but it seems that we often find ourselves drawn to some of the tricky ones! Drew Okla has offered some of his insights and advice in an article included in this newsletter. It was enthusiastically decided that our November meeting will take place on Saturday, November 19, 2:00 p.m. at Matthaei Botanical Gardens . It has been arranged that we will have a “volunteer work day” with the Bromeliad collection there. For our newer members, this is an excellent opportunity to get a “behind the scenes” look at the bromeliad collection. The plants thrived in their brief summer vacation outdoors, so there are many plants in need of dividing and repotting! Tools will be provided, so plan to come and get your hands dirty! We will be working in Greenhouse #2. The December meeting will be our annual Holiday Pot Luck meeting at Lynne and Pat Echlin’s home located at 1420 Avon Circle W, Rochester Hills, MI 48309. The date will be Saturday, December 10, at 1 p.m.! RSVP to Lynne at 248-651-9521, or email her at [email protected] so she can plan accordingly. Lynne and Pat are generous to provide the meat, potatoes, and drinks.

Page 1 Photos Cover picture is of a plant grown from seed supplied by the Bromeliad Society International seedbank in 1995 labelled “Tillandsia streptocarpa large.” Not an easy species to identify, this one flowered in January 2012. Plant 40cm tall. All photos are by the Editor unless advised otherwise. Wellington Tillandsia Study Group Meeting, May 2012 Held on May 27, 2012, at Andy Falshaw’s home in Eastbourne. The following plants were discussed: Phyl Purdie: Tillandsia setiformis (imported from BirdRock Tropicals, CA) had a rather dried-up inflorescence. It seems to do this down here, with the bracts starting to brown off before the flowers are produced. Others in flower T. simulata (originally grown from seed ex Florida), a large-leaf form of T. incarnata and the small Tillandsia setiformis Guatemalan form of T. concolor. Andy Falshaw: Samples of Tillandsia edithiae and T. incarnata post-flowering, question where to cut off the old flower spikes. General answer is to cut them off as far down the stem (peduncle, rachis) as you can get without damaging the rest of the plant. If you are not wanting to wait and see if the tillandsia is going to set seed, then the sooner you cut off the infloresence the sooner the plant can divert more resources into producing offsets.
