I kid you not Chanin, up to $500, even more if it is in the leather cover that was issued for (I think) the first 100 copies. Rainbow Bookstore! My home away from home when it was located 10 minutes away. You could peruse all the books for hours with nobody caring one way or the other.

Not yet SSair. The turquoise coloration of the leaves is simply beautiful!

One of my favorite of ALL bromeliads. The legacy behind the name is enough for me. My 15 year old beauty nestled under a large Schizolobium and Dypsis lutescens. <a><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/gonzer/hpim1068.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and ...

I practically waited in line in 1986 for that book Timm. Came autographed by Paul too. I had forgotten to mention it ( :!: ) because it's more technical than the others. You are so correct, it does cost a fortune when one becomes available. I've seen a copy fetch $500 American :shock: :shock: :shock:

The French and Japanese books are OK for the most part for photo ID's (Hiro's book is better), but where, oh where is an English text covering the genus . I've heard Pamela Koide is working on one but darn-IT! I need one now!!!! Thanks for letting me vent.

Thanks Denis, time to research it. I wasn't thinking Puya.

This was rescued from a nursery's garbage pile without an ID. Chanin or someone care to hazard a guess?

The inflorescence is doing just fine Timm. What I wanted to use as a prop was a forked branch but it kept tipping over :-( Seth, the tag has long been lost but I believe the plant in question is the small form of T. mima. I do have a few terrestrials but the bulk of my collection are epiphytes (300+...

OK Timm, you showed me yours, now I'll show you mine. <a><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/gonzer/HPIM1027.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> <a><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/gonzer/hpim1063.jpg" ...

Yes, thanks Eric. Like Timm, time to edit the ID tags.

Chanin, nice to see you! I saw your 'combo' post. This site looks full of promise don't you think? I should say, right off, "Thank you Timm" for providing us with invaluable site for discussion. Not sure about blooming time for the Zebra but I'm sure it will be a normal bloom.

The markings left by the trichomes are very evident in this photo of one I recently purchased on E-Bay.
