Posted by stephania Bangkok, Thailand (My Page) on Wed, Jul 30, 08 at 13:48
After joining the World Bromeliad Conference in Cairns, Australia
Steve Hoppin, the President of the Cryptanthus Society and his good friend
Dr Larry Giroux, the editor of the Cryptanthus Society Journal
had visited to my country for 3 weeks.
Beyond the adventures to many attractions their own,
I had suggested planning some brom trips for them too...
and I got a permission to share you here their happiness (^_*)
On the 1st day in our country, I brought Steve & Dr Larry to be guest
and have lunch among the garden at Bankampu Tropical Gallery.
Surat Wanno, the owner with Steve and Dr Larry
We were looking at a huge Crypt. 'Arlety'
The Thai style house.
Plant collections.

| I'm so glad they were able to find you, Chanin, I'll bet they had a ball! I'm jealous, though. I wish I could have been there too! Well, in a way I guess I was...... ;-) |

| LOL...No HDD, I didn't , actually Steve was wondering with a huge size of 'Arlety' Hi Rigo, so do I, Staghorn is also my favorite fern. Before our great dinner with spicy Thai foods, we visited to my friend's collection. Dr Larry in the jungle!

| Beautiful photos. Your Cryptanthus are stunning!!! The Agalonemas at the markets really caught my eye. Anyone know if those coloured ones are available in Oz yet? *Drool* |
RE: Steve & Dr Larry 's Bromeliad trips in Thailand Part I

| Thanks for the tour Chanin, great set of photos. Looking forward to part II ! |

| Chanin, you continue to top yourself with every post. Stunning displays, you're so very lucky. In the top photo, the blooming Aechmea, is that a green blanchetiana? |
RE: Steve & Dr Larry 's Bromeliad trips in Thailand Part I

| Gonz' looks like a Ae. eurycorymbus , not enough red in the flower to be a blanchet' ... and yes bromcrazy, some of the coloured Aglaonemas are in Oz , but suffer out of the tropics .. I have 2 , just posted pics on a blog ,,, see here ..http://aroids-michael.blogspot.com/ fantastic pics here Chanin , I never miss any of your posts ... |

WOW WOW WOW!!! Thanks so much Chanin!
Steve and Dr Larry were so lucky to be given personal tours by you. I am also envious!
Excellent photos as usual.
Also looking forward to Part 2. I can't work out whether that last appetiser photo for Part 2, with the boys in foreground, shows a miniature garden in background, or the boys are very high up? Sorry, I'm impatient. No doubt all will be revealed in Part 2. Cheers,
