Summer Drought and Winter Floods - can we ever win ?


This book by Andrew Steens  is one of the best reference books I have ever seen for Bromeliads and will inspire you to the extent that you can hardly wait to get out there and get cracking. Summer here has been very dry - no rain for over three months and hardly any water to spare so the Broms have suffered  - now, in mid winter we have the opposite extreme with them practically floating out of their pots there is too much rain !
The good news is that  the Possums here are leaving them alone - those leathery leaves are great to deter them but we are keeping our fingers crossed as they have demolished  all the Rhubarb leaves and not a dead Possum to be seen ........
