Wholesale Bromeliads of Australia
Newsletter No 1
September 2008
It is great that Spring is here & our broms are beginning to grow again after a cold August. Coming out of winter, we are very low on stock, but will have many more broms becoming available in a month or so.
We're excited because we are about to flower some mini guzmanias from Deroose for the first time. These are Mini 'Trisha' (red/yellow), Mini 'Charlene' (light purple) & Mini 'Ilse' (purple).
New release guzmanias also near flowering are 'Etude' (pink) & 'Yellow Fire' (red/yellow) & vrieseas 'Bernice' (purple) & 'Titan' (yellow).
We are Australian agents for Andrew Maloy's amazing pattern leafed vrieseas & will be releasing 'Kiwi Sunset', 'Kiwi Dusk' & 'Kiwi Cream' in the near future - see under vrieseas in our bromeliad gallery. These have been produced from tissue culture for the world market & will be available in limited numbers. We are taking orders now.
Our stock of collector bromeliads is quickly building up. Smaller numbers are currently available & there will be more over the next year or so. We are expanding our collection every week. Please come & see us or request a catalogue.
We will soon have a complete list of our bromeliads on this website - 'Our Collection'. As an example, we have 68 varieties of guzmanias, 19 of mini guzmanias, 61 of vrieseas, 400 of neoregelias & 54 of mini neoregelias.
The Bromeliad Growers Group sale of bromeliads will be held again on Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th October at the Wavell Heights Community Hall, Wavell Heights, Brisbane. There will be hundreds of varieties of bromeliads for sale. Look forward to seeing you there if you can make it.
You are always welcome to visit our nursery by appointment or contact us.
Happy growing,
Bob & True Grant
