Haha, Sunshine, that is a great answer! It reminds me of my trip to Haiti last month. Just before I left, I contacted one of the people there and asked how many ice trays should I bring? The answer was "it depends upon how much ice you want"!

Haha, five years later and I agree, sunshine! Lots and lots of broms around here!

Yes- they die. Was interesting to me to move a big clump of A.fasciata and one fell out and went "splat" on the concrete. It was totally rotted and nothing but water. Still until I picked up that clump it was whole. Sort of a Zombie bromeliad. Besides the Zombie comparison you can also do the mating of some Salmon..then they die too.
