Walking past the end of a R.O.W. I noticed an interesting-looking bit of greenery sticking out of a skip. I had to take a closer look:
A huge bromeliad! Why was someone throwing out such an amazing plant? I wanted to rescue it, but how to get it home without a car?
The answer involved a quick walk home to get my old shopping trolley:
Much easier than trying to carry such a huge plant all the way!
Later at home after a bit of a drink it looks pretty good:
Aechmea fasciata (fasciata - bound together, according to my new Latin book)

Wow--that's a great rescue. Long life and good health to your new big bromeliad.
What a great find, to buy one that size in the shops would cost a fortune, well done.
Amazing - all I found in a skip today were some manky pots...
What a magnificent find Vireya! The flower on it is gorgeous :-)
