Growing Guzmania Plants In My Garden.

We were visiting a friend one morning and before we left, my friend passed some plants cuttings to me. Among the plants cuttings were 2 small Guzmania plants. I was very happy to receive the cuttings, especially the Guzmania plants. My Guzmania plants were planted in 2 separate pots.

When I brought the 2 plants home, I temporary planted them in recycled polystyrene cups.

The plants seemed to be growing very slowly even after being transferred to bigger pots.

9th months

Plant A growing more leaves.

Plant B at about 14th month.

I found plant B growing baby plants from its sides at about 12th month.

After re-positioning some of the plants in my garden, I shifted the Guzmania plants to a more shady place. Now their leaves are greener. I noticed they look healthier and happier under the shade.

I saw this plant in the plant nursery and the leaves were so green and healthy.

Found this unique flower in the same nursery.

Linking to Floral Bliss.

No one has ever seen God.

But the unique One, who is himself God,

is near to the Father's heart. He has revealed God to us.
