It's been a while, but I have finally gotten around to taking some photos of some of my newer bromeliads. Here is a group of some Orthophytum hybrids & f2s. Most are less than 2 years old.
Hope you enjoy them,
Paul

close up photos of some of the individuals.
I'm calling this one 'Cocoa' for now.

This one looks a lot like a Dyckia-

Hi Paul,
Good to see some of the results of your Orthophytum endeavors, really cool, especially "variegated surprise". A real beauty.
The range of patterns and colours (sorry for the UK spelling)is particularly attractive for me.
Your Ortho hybrids have come on since your post almost a year ago on the "other site". I don't think you included the variegate that time.
It always amazes me how you manage to grow such a wonderful range of broms in Z6 conditions in Farmington Hills, MI.
I have been meaning to ask you for a long time for some photos taken in your greenhouse during the winter. I remember your post near Christmas 2008 when you said there was a foot of snow and temperatures of 1 Deg F.
Some photos would help inspire us temperate climate growers!
Good to see you on as "MI_Broms" as well.
Regards, jadgee

That's a nice grouping. Always nice to see the results of people's hybridizing.
