A Christmas Bromeliad
According to my mom, who gave me this bromeliad from her garden, it blooms at Christmas each year. Well as usual, mom is right! These fuschia pink, dangling bromeliad flowers add their own touch of holiday decoration to the garden.
I was fortunate enough to catch their beautiful but short-lived blossoms during the busy month of December.

Thank-you for sharing your floral gifts!
I am a horticulturalist by nature and educationally wise, I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in 2003, from Murray State University, Murray,KY.
I think you have lovely specimen areas and the bromeliad is a welcomed site in winters of Tennessee.
Thanks again and happy plantings 2007.
