I mentioned in my last post how Bromeliads are the most versatile and easy care plants in my garden (See that post here)
How appropriate that Jen should choose “vibrant” as her WP theme for this week, because what I didn’t show about the bromeliad in my last post is how diverse and vibrant the flowers are.
Not many are flowering at the moment in mid summer as they are, mainly, a spring-flowering plant. So I searched through the archives to find some of the vibrant images I have of the Bromeliad in glorious flower.
Also they carry these amazing and diverse forms of flowers for many weeks, sometimes months. When they do eventually fade the Bromeliad will slowly die, but not before it has produced a number of pups (small replicas of itself) around the base of the plant to carry on the easy care tradition.

Until we had the big drought of 2000 to 2010 I didn’t have any of them in the garden, my garden was more a cottage style, lots of annuals, but the drought quickly changed that theme.

Such vibrant colour combinations: purple and orange; pink and purple; yellow and red; fuchsia pinks and bright oranges. You have a lot of colours PP.

A lot of those colours I would never combine in a decorating scheme, but nature seems to get away with it brilliantly
