The Red Streaked Bromeliad

This one was quite elusive in it's display.
I had placed in a hanger and it was out of reach.. out of sight..
And I had totally forgotten about it and it was almost lost.
This one is actually a pup - the mother plant had long gone and this pup barely made it.

The good thing is that this one have with a little tender loving care spring back to life.
And with her vibrant colours..
And yes, touch me not - those spiky leaves..
still beautiful as ever.. the blood stained brom.

And this almost gone into the abyss of boring green
It spring back to her fierce red tiger stripes...
Still beautiful
I had ditched off all the boring green and embracing colours for the coming 2018.

May there be colours in your life..
With lots of promises and wishes that come true.
This coming season in gardening.
At least..
May there be life and life in full abundance of Joy...
