Hi Matt

Maybe a Bromelia balansae on top of that letter box may help keep unwanted bill posters away.

That looks fabulous! I love it and wish I could find something like that around here to sit on my patio.

Good job!

They're great Matt; I particularly like Side-Show Bob!

Something like that would work well with Acanthostachys strobilacea.

Awesome Matt!

Where did you find the Bust planter? Looks like a primitive native man with that brom. ;0)

With Bromelia balansea and Acanthostachys strobilacea on top, you would need to cut its hair in bangs if you would like to keep getting mailÂ

Side-Show Bob with its hairdo is just great as is...good form, color combination and proportions. Bromaholic, I was also thinking like you and thought it looked like a bushman.

For your pole like statute, you could also try a tight growing Billbergia. This mailbox stands next to an entryway meaning you better work upwards than sideways. The pipe like appearance of several Bills could work well...at least in my imagination. you could also arrange those Bills in Mohawks style...

.. on a second thought...even though the curled leave tips of Qusnelia marmorata Tim Plowman could give it a kink a Q m TP would be too small. I think the proportion on my patchwork photo is not all right. Anyway, a tall growing tight Bill would look better.

Smallish stoloniferous plants like fireball, would give the arrangement of its hair a ringlets-like look..again it is just my fantasy.

Thank you all for your comments and new ideas.

Pinkbroms i like ur idea for using Bromelia Balansae but do u think it would help me keep away the debt collectors as well?

Lisa I received Acanthostachys strobilacea from Nev here on the forums awhile back so i'll have to give it some serious thought. A grassed looking hair piece would look fantastic.

Cliff i've never heard of the term 'bust planter' before but now I know what it is, thankyou. I found this one on ebay Australia.

NoidGuest that photo edit is great for more ideas. Originally I was going to put a number of Aechmea J.C. Superstar or Chantinii Black as they too have that flute shape of growing upwards rather than outwards.

Here is an update on my Easter Island statue. It currently has a Tilandsia Fascilulata clauspicta in it. Also picked up another smaller statue from a garage sale for $2. It is waiting for a brom. to go in it.
