Nice plants Japie

Avane - What a great collection of orlandianas you have - I like the stain-glass window effect with the sun shining through the leaves and I also think your recycling of old railway sleepers is great, must try that one myself - Thanks for the pics - All the best Nev

Hi Japie,

Your pics are magnificent - the colors are amazingly beautiful. Now, that is why I love broms so much (and why i am so disappointed coz i still havent got it right yet ....sook sook).

I would like to thank you belatedly for sharing the concept of using old sleepers to display your broms - i had seen some of your earlier pics and i have copied your idea but was unable to remember who to attribute the idea! Yhanks :-)) I now have a little Bromhenge happening at the end of my garden (it looks nowhere near as brilliant as yours - i can only hope that time will change that).

Thanks again

Fantasic collection there Japie, you are really getting them to show off their markings...and that Ensign has the best colour of any I've seen.

Great collection...

I just hope that my Rainbow and Ensign show there colour like these.

Thanks for the nice comments, Everyone!

HDD, your Snowflake looks as if it wants to come and join my crowd! Does it also show a lot of white viewed from the side?

Japie

Japie, that is a great collection there - thanks for sharing.

HDD, I can see why that is a favourite.

Ditto on the above compliments Japie - and HDD. They look great mounted like that. I agree with Andrew that your Ensign is super duper!
Looking forward to the arty-farty shots :)

Cheers,

Great display of the different forms Japie!

How are your's able to take that full sun?..mine need some afternoon shade or a hot spell will burn them.

They get some shade on and off during the day in summer, Stanhofh. Just remember also, that what you see now is at the end of Winter when the sun has not got a lot of punch here on the southern tip of Africa.

And today I realised that I never, ever took a picture of Ensign from the top. Maybe it is because I like the look from below with the sun hitting it from behind, but also it is very difficult to get it from the top as it is high up and I am rather short. So, instead of fetching a ladder, I nearly broke my neck taking this picture!

I couldn't help but reply to this thread if only to pop it back to the top of the list for those wo missed it the firt time round.

Great pics and amazing looking plants! Most of the Orland and hybrids are still on my wanted list (and that list grows longer as I see the diff cv's!) but I can see from your pics why Ensign is yr fave - Ill definetley have to add one of those before long.

all the best
