Garden Visits
I did some garden visits last weekend but only now I managed to upload all the photos into photobucket. The first one is a collector's garden locate at one of the hills in Penang. I think it's about 680m above sea level amongst prime forest area. THe temperature is about the same as our lowland temperature except for a degree drop or two only. Not so high but it really does wonders to the plants!
Enough of talk. Here are some pics. View of Penang looking from the top.  Nice truncata as we enter to his garden.  Plentiful of heliconias. I only manage to snap a few shots as most weren't flowering at that time. Was told this is Hot Rio Night.     Some bromeliads.( My speciality  )Aechmea fosteriana with Neo. Fireball  Alcantarea imperialis rubra.  Neoregela Pink on Black  Neorregelia Vodoo Doll.  Neoregelia Raphael  Neoregelia Grande_Fantastic Garden.  Now coming to Tills..... Nice blushing xerographica.  Bromeliads arrangement.  Some nice clouds formation.  T. grandis. It really looks like an Alcantarea!  T. ionantha Peanut clump......Was told it always blush red!!!!  T. funckiana. Now this is interesting as I find this plant looks entirely differnt from mine!  More xero.  Capitata Peach turns to rubra?!!!  T. gardneri var. rupicola  Finally.....a T. tectorum with an orchid. How nice they complement each other.  Next one will be another friend of mine with some spiny stuff. Happy viewing. AT

Re: Garden Visits
Whoa, now another festooning till and brom garden Andy!! But seeing your garden alone is enough to bring smiles to my face
I think the place is on one of the Teluk Bahang hills. 680m above sea level surely is more than enough for anything tropical to grow beautifully there!! Alvin
