Sunday Purple :: Brewday Bromeliads!

in #colorchallenge8 years ago

I brew beer on Sunday.

In the midst of that, I also consider what small post I can make on Steemit. Multitasking! And lo, whilst wandering around my back patio, smelling the barley and hops of my brew, I found a couple of wee purple blooms on our bromeliads.

These durable plants are almost like a form of cactus; they're edged with prickly bits and stiff. But they're also quite beautiful, offering up tiny purple flowers every now and again.



Neoregelia bromeliad in all it's tiny, flowery glory. Look at the serrated edge on the leaves. Very stabby!



They're pretty small, these plants, no bigger than a foot or two across, but they pack a punch. A tiny punch, granted.

Used to keep a bunch of bromeliads when I lived in australia. here in new york, they seem to not like the weather as much (even indoors), more difficult to keep alive. They are very pretty plants though.

Down here in South Florida, they are quite happy with the heat and sun.

I'm not a big fan of bromeliads usually @negativer but those little purple flowers are pretty. Especially with the pinky tips to the leaves. Well spotted! 😁

I like them because they're so durable, and mostly clean (they don't drop a lot of leaves or other junk to clean up). Good for poolside plantings! :)

Oh my gosh, those are amazing pictures. They look like water colors!

They do have kind of a dreamy look to them, don't they? :) Thanks!
