It is my beloved's birthday today and we took a needed adventure out of town to a neato place to have a fancy lunch at Sherman Gardens. I could have stayed in the greenhouse all day, but this fountain growing plants is the only pic I got because we just spent the time enjoying life. #ShermanGardens #garden #succulent #bromeliad #moss
Today I saw these old style #camellias while walking in downtown #BatonRouge #Louisiana. I was struck by the rose like flowers. I thought they would be a good topic for #bloomscrolling. Since they are cultivated, they probably are #gardening material as well. Camellias are such great flowers, because they are evergreen and bloom in the late winter when little else is growing. #Bromeliad fans might notice a few sprigs of #Tillandsia growing on the stems of the bush.

Imagine being some little ballmoss (Tillandsia recurvata) seed blowing through the air, landing in a crevice between some windings of a power line, then thinking, "yup, this seems like a good place to be a flowering plant." Photo from Mexico. Bromeliads gonna bromeliate.
