Hi everyone - Sorry I'm late responding, somehow this post slipped past me.

What an interesting collection of plants, thanks for sharing.

All the best, Nev.

Which botanical garden is that? I used to live in Texas, but I never visited that garden, although it might be new - I haven't lived there since 1988. I might go back in November of this year to visit my nephew on business.

A fun display. But - where is the labeling?

South Texas Botanical Garden in Corpus Christi.

I haven’t seen the greenhouse since Hurricane Harvey, pics were taken before, but I think there may have been some damage.

As far as the labeling...that is a good question.

Hi everyone.

Embothrium - I know it's sometimes frustrating to bromeliad growers, but unfortunately this lack of labeling seems to be a common trait in collections of plants in many botanical gardens, world wide.

Although some of the larger botanical gardens display elaborate professionally made labels which are large enough to read easily, many of the others show no labels at all.

This may be due to the fact that many of these smaller botanical gardens and gardens in parks owned by local councils (at least here in Australia) often have volunteers who assist with the garden upkeep.

Although these people do a magnificent job of keeping the gardens clean and tidy, they are for the most part, general gardeners and not specifically bromeliad growers and in many cases wouldn't know the plant names anyway.

Generally speaking, most of the people viewing these gardens aren't bromeliad growers either and have little interest in correct plant names, and it's largely a case of those responsible for the gardens, catering to the majority.

If there are particular bromeliads you would like to know the names of, it's a good idea to take a few pictures from different angles, as well as a close-up or two and by posting them on sites such as this or one of the many bromeliad groups on Face Book an ID can usually be found.

All the best, Nev.
