The bromeliad that isn't home


Here's mum combing through rows and rows of bromeliads in the humid hot weather to select her one and only. 










Found it! She finally settled for this one (after usual endearing process of 'double-confirming' with everyone and any 'victim' who happened to be about).Awaiting to be reunited. We have to call AVA after the bromeliad got taken away from us at the checkpoint. Sigh....There's hope for my long suffering patient mumsie to finally bring her bromeliad home. 

Home safe and sound. All is now well. Hope it's happy and thrives in its new surroundings.

Cost S$23 for an inspection fee plus she signed an undertaking not to import plants & soil matter without proper certification in future

AVA's Plant Health Centre at Lorong Chencharu (what a funny name; must have an interesting history behind it)

Should I or should I not take a peek at what plants people try to bring in...(In the end I only looked in through the mesh from the road; too hot to get out of the car.)
