My Tillandsia has flowered!!!

About 18 months ago a friend bought me a Tallandsia coz I thought they were so pretty.:wuvu: I was so disappointed when I found out they die after flowering.:( I did a bit of reading up on them but there was a lot of conflicting info. I took off the little side shoots and planted them in seperate pots. I babied them,k-l watered and misted them everday with rain water...... AT LAST!!! I have my 1st flower on one of my plants, The little purple flowers haven't come out yet, that will be an added bonus. :wink:

 

Top job O2....................Your patience has been rewarded.....
I have seen them before but never grown them,an interesting plant.

 

Wow! That's such a beautiful pink. Well done.

 

Quite an achievement 02.

Well done.:thumb:

 

Well done 02 ... mine from earlier this year did nothing and my Sis (Kedi-Gato) has brought me another with a now green flower but I don't think this will go further with me here outside.

I have quite a few of these type plants that I have been very successful with so I persevere.

Again, well done .... :cl-p:

 

Well done 02, bromeliads from offsets take a while to flower but are worth it. The pink colouring should last a few months, then when it has finally finished you can start all over again.

 

Well done 02 your patience has been rewarded.:thumb:
