Nice pics! Love that flava and the miranda is huge...wow. My brunei red is a different color than yours but nowhere near the size.

I always love your updates! The broms are always really nice too

 

[amphirion]

Wow! Eye catching is correct! Thanks for sharing!

 

[ellisonk001]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

The Miranda is what started this obsession. I got it at Walmart about 3.5 years ago and the addiction began....

I have also become addicted to bromeliads so they will probably continue to creep into my posts; glad you enjoy them thez_yo.

 

[Whimgrinder]

That Miranda is a monster! Impressive.

 

[dueoka]

That's the biggest Miranda I've ever seen. Looks great! I love the bromeliads too. They're so colorful!

Always a treat, Keith.

Thanks for all the kind words. I am glad everyone seems to be enjoying the pictures, to include the bromeliads.... I will try to post more often.

Very nice upper pitchers!

N. Courage is wonderful!

 

[ellisonk001]

Thanks for all your kind comments! I was really surprised at how elongated the N Courage pitchers were, but I have to admit I really like them. It seems to make them even more elegant....
