A small vase arrangement consisting of two vibrant pink cymbidium orchids, nestled within purple statice, and grape hyacinth stems. Most of the hyacinth blooms are below the water line, with their brilliant green stems extending at various heights over the lip of the vase.

This is an arrangement one of our staff members made for the Dalhousie Architecture Student Exhibition. The flowers used were iris, yellow daisies, and yellow roses, as well as snake grass and bear grass to add height, dimension and architectural elements.

Bromeliad -- The Torch Plant

Billbergia pyramidalis(bill-BERJ-ee-ah pi-ram-DAY-lis)

Ease of Growing: Very easy

Light: Bright, though they can survive for many weeks in a lowlight setting.

Water: Drench soil thoroughly, and then allow it to become quite dry before watering again.

Temperature: Moderate to warm. 65-75°F during the day, and 60-70°F at night.

Tips: The flowers themselves are short-lived but beautiful on these easy-to-grow Bromeliads. They produce offshoots readily, and should be kept on the main plant as long as possible before repotting them to start a new plant.
