| Wow! How pretty. You did well! I think that's called Queen's Tears. At least that what a lady told me that had a huge one of those on her porch. |

| I never find any plants at yard sales. Looks like a nice haul for you. |

| Amazing. I have seen that plant before and it looked ordinary. Now I see how extraordinary it is. I guess like my pineapples.. they looked pretty plain until I had my first pineapple poke out. They then became the neighborhood talk LOL |

| Thank you! It surprised the heck out of me I can tell you. :) I only started growing bromiliads this spring so I didn't expect it. But the timing (Thanksgiving) is awesome! |

| Very pretty. I look everywhere for Bromeliads. The last one I bought was from a retired clown's estate sale. It was sitting in a pot in the back yard, all over grown and a mess. They didn't have a price on it, but when I asked, they said $6. There is a resale shop at my mother's assisted living. Once there were a bunch of ratty bromeliads out front. I bring them all home and split them with my neighbor. It's fun! I have not yet begun to dig up plants from people's abandoned yards, but have been tempted. CB in Sarasota |

| My queen's tears has one lonely little bloom. Yours is gorgeous! Mine seems to bloom better in the spring. |

| What?! It will bloom again in spring? That't great! Thanks! |

| Yes, that one blooms twice, sometimes three times a year. I've got a couple of terra cotta pots filled with them and a few in a colony in the ground. Post the picture on the Bromeliad forum and they'll ID it for you. |

| It's Billbergia nutans commonly known as Queen Tears or Friendship Plant. |
