Cool pics, plantboy. So does your handle have any meaning in this area? I especially enjoyed the Bromeliad and Banana tree photos.
This one made me smile. Bromeliads. My dad grew these for years. Our yard was like a tropical paradise. He had over 400 plants in the yard including about 25 spieces of Bromeliads. Pine apples are actually the fruit of a kind of Bromeliad.
