And the planting begins.There is a mix of six mini and dwarf neo sp.mounted now. At this stage it all looks very random and artificial.

Im Scott. Peter is the other Palmtalker from Guatemala.

There are no bromeliad nurseries in Guatemala. There are some that produce the most common/popular neos and guzmanias for the florist trade. There is just no market for landscape/collectors type bromeliads in Guatemala. Almost everything I have has been imported.

Its frustrating to live in a place where one could have an incredible collection but no plants to buy or trade. Growing bromeliads from seed is a long and complicated process.

Thanks Ben and Ray. This is my second wall and this one was made with more nooks and crannies. I will soon add a few orchids and with time it will be completely covered.

All the neos on this wall were harvested from the other wall.

That is going to look great as it fills in.  Hope you are able to acquire more varieties over time.  I can't imagine what it must be like to live in an ideal climate for growing tropicals and then not having enough access to all the rare plants.  It seems like we have the opposite problem here in California.

Yes, I know its Scott, sorry for writing Peter, I did get thrown when I saw  Guatamala, but I did remember posting to you re going to see Chester and it looks like you will have too with no Brom nurseries in Guatamala :)   Pete

This has about five years growth on it with some minor pruning and dead heading.
