25.01.2022 Nothing says summer like hibiscus flowering and neo pups screaming out to be potted on.

24.01.2022 Found these beauties yesterday. The first one is Quesnelia Tim Plowman, Aechmea hybrid and another Aechmea. Enjoy!

24.01.2022 Have you thought of using trees in your garden as places for attaching bromeliads and orchids. They seem to thrive. Don't forget to water them when it is hot and dry.

23.01.2022 A big team effort yesterday to get all these neoregelias repotted and tidied up.

22.01.2022 It is that time of the year again. All the Wallisias are starting to flower and colour -up. These are Wallisia Antonio, Carlos and Alexander.

22.01.2022 Phaius walliciana in flower for first time from flask

21.01.2022 Well it is another wet and cool day here in our part of paradise. This picture of Guzmania Aphrodite was taken on Friday when the sun was shining.

21.01.2022 Here is an updated photo of the Alcantarea photo I put up a couple of weeks ago. The flowers are now opening and the perfume is quite delightful.

20.01.2022 Another of the vireyas (tropical rhododendrons) is in flower at the moment. An unexpected splash of colour to the garden. Also a worthwhile addition if you have plants flowering at different times.

20.01.2022 Portea petropolitana is an excellent addition to the garden. Its flowers are long lasting.

20.01.2022 There is nothing like some sunshine to brighten your day. Guzmania Mirador just fits the bill.

20.01.2022 This is for the philodendron lovers amongst you. Not sure what its name is, but it is loving this position in the garden.

20.01.2022 Guzmania monostachia is a species guzmania. The flower is only short-lived, but it pups well and it looks great as a clump.

20.01.2022 Aechmea Mariae-Reginae is flowering with the accompanying Golden Orb Spider. This is the male flower, with the female flower being much shorter and fatter.

20.01.2022 The medinillas are coming into flower. This is Medinilla myriantha.

19.01.2022 Had another busy day getting a big order together and dodging the rain. All the Guzmania wittmackiis are in flower. Here are 3 plants in one pot all in flower.

19.01.2022 Presentation of your plants is important. These are the before and after of preparing plants for sale or display. Pull off all the dead leaves, wash out the centre and flower, repot ensuring the plant is in centre of the pot. Now your plant looks fab and nothing like the plant you started with.

19.01.2022 We have 3 new additions to the family. They were made from our old shovels and part of an old pressure pump. Thank you Barry, for your bespoke pieces of garden art. We love them.

19.01.2022 One of Steve's new Rhipsalis plants is flowering. The plant itself has a very wide flat leaf.

18.01.2022 On a continuation on the theme of using trees, this is our yellow jacaranda with bromeliad compacta planted at the base and a variety of hoya growing through the branches.

18.01.2022 We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. Thank you to everyone who has followed us during the year and those of you who have purchased plants from us. We will be taking a 2 month break to catch up on potting and many other jobs, so the nursery will be closed on weekends until the beginning of March. If you are desperate to buy plants we will be opened by appointment.

18.01.2022 Wallisia cyanae Paradise enjoying our current warm winter days. Tried it as an epiphyte and it really is enjoying it. Has been on this tree over 5 years.

17.01.2022 Woohoo the front fence has been completed. Now the hard work begins in deciding how to plant an easy care garden.

17.01.2022 Orchids always provide colour in your garden during the year. Dendrobium farmerii alba x is doing that at the moment.

16.01.2022 Tillandsia Tricolour is in full bloom at the moment. They seem to do really well when they are tied onto trees.

16.01.2022 This is a collectors item and not for sale, but it is spectacular when in flower. Vrelandia Skyrocket is a John Arden hybrid imported many years ago.

15.01.2022 We have spent the last week repotting all the Wallisias (Tillandsias) and hoping to get the same amount of flowers as earlier this year (picture on right).

14.01.2022 Tropical rhododendrons coming into flower for spring

13.01.2022 The three Rivers, Pink River, Red River and White Ice River got cleaned up and repotted yesterday. Not sure how they liked the 5 deg we had this morning.

13.01.2022 I made this up yesterday using some new larger bowls. It will be a feast of colour for its new owner.

11.01.2022 Here is one for you to put on your wishlist. Guzmania Wolfgang is flowering for the first time, quite unexpectedly. There are only 2 flowering sized plants the rest are still small, so we will hold off selling any until we have more saleable sized plants.

11.01.2022 More orchids to enjoy, a Zygopetalum hybrid.

11.01.2022 Just a few plants that caught my eye this morning.

10.01.2022 Tibouchina Peace Baby is beginning its spring flowering. A beautiful addition to your garden.

10.01.2022 It's soft cane dendrobium time up here in FNQ. This particular variety is very common up here on the Atherton Tablelands.

10.01.2022 Tassel Ferns are extremely popular at the moment. Here is one of Steve's mother plants.

10.01.2022 More orchids, this time its vandas. Aren 't they beautiful!

09.01.2022 Everything is beginning to bloom, even these local native orchids.

07.01.2022 I had an order for a flowering bowl this morning. Hope the customer is happy with it.

05.01.2022 We find that Tillandsias grow much faster tied in a tree. They enjoy the wind and rain and leaf litter. They form large clumps in a few years. Here are some pics of trees in our yard.

05.01.2022 Check out this giant Dancing Lady lookalike or maybe even a butterfly or moth, but it is PSYC Mendenhall.

03.01.2022 If ever there was a plant that was true to name it is this one. Aechmea distichantha is spectacular when in bloom but its leaves certainly do stick you. It has a lethal spike on its tip which got me twice when I took this photo.

02.01.2022 Happy New Year!! Let's start the the new year with a flower from one of our new Guzmanias - Guzmania Jambelli.
