Looking for bromeliad nurseries

Posted by Scott_D Newc, NSW, Aust (My Page) on

Does anyone know of any bromeliad mailorder nurseries in Australia?

I was going to order from bromagic but they ceased doing mailorder. There are a few hard to get broms I am looking for, that I can't find anywhere locally.

Thanks,
Scott

If you are ever in Brisbane I can referr you to a couple of Brom growers who only sell privately.
They have wonderful collections.
My wife has got most of her collection from these people.

Ian,

I would not mind getting the names from you as well. Would love to get some more broms. We are heading south after christmas... and would love to see your garden too, if you don't mind. We are staying in Alex Hills, so just down the road from your place.

Regards, Ari :)

I highly recommend Keith Golinski (I think that's how you spell his name?) who has a place in Qld called Bromagic. The link below will take you to his site.

About 8 or 9 years ago I ordered a lot of plants from him, about 20 something boxes valued at over AU$5,000 in total, and had them all sent to me here in Bali. All the plants were excellent, I couldn't fault him and if I were to need more I would try him first.

Cheers, Troy.

Scott,

There are a couple of excellent bromeliad growers here in Bundaberg. Very good plants at a fraction of the price you would pay down south. If you would like details send me an email and I will forward you their names and phone numbers.
