Christoffel Bromeliads

Hi gang, here’s another shot from our trip to Christoffel yesterday, these are called Teku Bromeliads.  Normally during the rainy season these Bromeliads are a rich green color but in dry months they turn a glowing yellow and when the sun hits them as you see here it’s absolutely beautiful!  I found a great site that literally walks you from the visitors center to the top of the mountain and explains everything you will see and find along the way with photos and text, check it out at  www.naturalbornhikers.com/trails/christoffel.html  These Bromeliads are razor sharp and completely cover the ground on your way up the trail.  Some of you may remember me sending photos of this plant during the rainy season when it’s blood red and has a cluster of beautiful purple flowers in the middle, it’s pretty amazing how much they can change throughout the year. 
 
I only worked a half day today as Aimee is leaving tomorrow morning at 6:00am and there is still so much to do.  We took the dogs and the bikes to the new trail for a fun-run at 4:30 but other than that we have been doing lots of last minute things. 
 
Sorry so short, that’s it for tonight, Barry
