My other air plant is flowering as well – Featured Blog

25 October 2016 By Port Elizabethan

Today’s posts from our featured Port Elizabeth Blogger:

My other air plant is flowering as well:

Last week I posted a picture of my air plants flowering and received quite a few questions about in, especially on Facebook.  Most people asked what I do to make them flower as their’s don’t.  I have to types of air plants around my yard (don’t ask me what they are called cause I don’t know) with the one type flowering bright pink with blue every year.  The other type grows quite fast forming big clumps but doesn’t really flower that often.  When they do flower it’s usually just one blueish flower and seemingly only the one by my postbox.
On Saturday afternoon when I was busy working in the yard I noticed that it’s actually flowering so I snapped a pic to show you the difference.  On the top photo you can just make it out at the bottom of the plant (it’s very visible on the plant’s shadow).

Geek World SA is open in PE:

Port Elizabeth geeks, fanboys (and girls), cosplayers and comic book lovers rejoiced today with the opening of Geek World SA at 189 Main Road Walmer.  Geek World SA stocks cosplay outfits, comic books, figurines, unique clothing, board games, fandom jewelry and lots more.  Looking at some people as they walked in to day was like watching kids enter a candy store.  The shop was packed all day long so I couldn’t get any good pictures other than a quick cell phone snap, but as soon as I get a chance to go back I’ll post a couple of nice pics.  In the meantime check out their Facebook page to see some of the stuff they have in stock.
