I never know whether I should comment on 'wordless' posts. However, I can't resist noting that the syneilesis palmata has more than a passing resemblance to Cousin It from the Addams Family.
Hi Bom!I think your tropical location is too warm for the temperate Syneilesis palmata, it needs winter dormancy. Tillandsia will be more appropriate :)

ReplyDeleteLooks like a pretty blonde wig!
ReplyDeleteYikes! My Syneilesis are no-shows thus far...
ReplyDeleteFunny enough, I've always thought it looked like Cousin It too. But yes, it also looks like a pretty blonde wig too :)
ReplyDeleteGive it a few more days DG, hopefully it should pop up soon!
Goodness, that does indeed look like Cousin It, how wonderfully strange!
ReplyDeleteI see it more as a sort of balding Womble...
ReplyDeleteIt's a fab plant too Janet, will post pics when it has fully unfurled and much bigger :)
ReplyDeleteLOL at Martin! :D
