Many species have spectacular jewel-like blooms. All sizes, shapes, and colors of these popular tropical plants will be on display and for sale. The fierce competition draws leading bromeliad growers and collectors from across the state. Bromeliads attach to trees, cling to rocks, and grow on forest floors from the southern United States to South America. They are found in the rain forest canopy, on the sides of mountains, and in the sands of beaches and deserts.
Different species are well adapted to cold, to heat, and to dry or wet conditions.
Visitors are invited to the monthly meetings. The Annual Show and Sale is the major fundraiser for the group. Selby Gardens is at the corner of South Palm Avenue and U.S. 41 on the Bayfront in downtown Sarasota. Inc. All rights reserved.
