Bromelcairns Club Activities & Around the Members SEPTEMBER: We met at Kewarra at Dave & Brendan’s where the trees & shrubs have all grown well and the bromeliads are thriving. Members wandered around Bromelcairns the garden and were amazed when they saw Dyckia ‘Betty Farnhill’ aka ‘BB’ in Newsletter - 2008 # 5 spike! ---- small plants had formed in the centre of the cluster of large plants Cairns Bromeliad Society Inc. and were in flower, the orange bells appeared to be laughing at us.

Karen Stevens Aechmeas - October Meeting Bromeliads - I had always admired these exotic looking plants but thought Pronounced eek-me-a or ack-me-a this genus is widely varied in size shape and they were probably too hard for me to look after. Then my daughter gave me one colour. They belong in the subfamily of Bromelioideae and evolved millions of years for my Birthday about 9 years ago. She said “Mum you should see this lady’s after the Pitcairnioideae and Tillandsioideae. As the youngest they are the least stable - house where I got it from, here is the address.” It was Lynn, so I went and had a hence are more variable, easily cross pollinate among their own genera and into other genera - forming a bigeneric. They range in diameter size from 8cm eg. racinae & look and then again, and again, and again, and I am still looking. I always see brevicollis to over a metre eg. blanchetiana, mariae-reginae etc. something that never caught my eye the last time. I think it's because nearly Most are tank bromeliads, the centre being a reservoir for food - water insects every month you have a different plant be it Aechmea, Neoregelia, Billbergia or etc. Mainly their leaves are stiff and have spines, I have always loved the stiff leaved some intergeneric that is in flower. They are all totally breathtaking, I love all of plants but then I saw the soft leafed Aechmeas weilbachii, carvalhoi, capixabae, lasseri, them, the spikier the better. filicaulis, miniata, fulgens the tiny racinae etc. and they fascinated me. These From going over to Lynn’s and joining the society, I started to get familiar inflorescences usually lean across the plant or are pendant. This habit has probably evolved as they grow in the canopy of the tree to protect their thinner leaves.

  • Growing Bromeliads Epiphytically in the Subtropical Home Garden Kerry Booth Tate (As Published in the BSI Journal, May-June 2003, Revised August 2017)
    Growing Bromeliads Epiphytically in the Subtropical Home Garden Kerry Booth Tate (as published in the BSI Journal, May-June 2003, Revised August 2017) Most bromeliad growers I know, and know of, cultivate their plants in pots under shade cloth, or some form of protective structure. This is necessary when climatic conditions do not replicate the bromeliads’ natural habitat. However, for those lucky gardeners who live in a subtropical climate, as I do, growing bromeliads in trees of the home garden can be successful and very effective. I have many established trees in my garden, thanks to the previous owners. Moving here from a cool-temperate region, I was greatly impressed and inspired by a huge flowering clump of the common Billbergia pyramidalis, climbing the trunk of an old Silky Oak (Grevillea robusta). Since then, my trees have become living sculptures – embellished with their ornaments, it’s like Christmas all year! With each new bromeliad purchase, I research its origin and growth habit in the literature available (pre internet access and the realm of international forums and facebook!), and decide where and under which conditions it might thrive. When tying a bromeliad onto the branch or trunk of a tree, I do not use sphagnum moss around the root area of the plant. Sometimes, a purchased pot-grown bromeliad already has an established root ball including pine chunks. This can be easier to secure to a branch, especially if the plant is not stoloniferous. Well-grown pups, with an obvious stolon, can be tied directly onto the upper side of a branch very easily.

A total of 32 members attended the meeting. Apologies were given for seven members. Ron mentioned that Rosemary Dalton had had a second operation and was on the mend. Laurie Mountford had also recovered. General Business Ross reminded the meeting that DVD’s containing Newsletters from various Groups and Societies from around Australia were available from the library. The disks are updated monthly. Also, with the author’s permission, member’s articles and photos used in our Newsletters and/or for presentations, would be retained by the library. Both Trish’s and Debbie’s originals have been filed. A copy of Derek Butcher’s (Uncle Derek) latest Tillandsia disk is now in the library. The issue of labelling sales and raffle broms was mentioned again (see p3, FNCBSG(NSW) Newsletter, March 2012). A much repeated discussion on label- ling followed. Ross pointed out that the whole idea of labelling is to make ones life easier, especially when you want to replace lost plants or plants you wish to obtain. You are not expected to remember all the names just retain the tags. In regard to library books, please ensure that the borrowing cards are filled out correctly when borrowing, and that your name is crossed out when the book is returned.
