Bromeliads Hoodies

Bromeliads growing in the Cloud Forests of Monteverde National Park, Costa Rica. Bromiliads are epiphytes. An epiphyte is an organism that grows on the surface of another plant and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, or from debris accumulating around it. It sometimes grows on fallen logs. It is not a parasite. What looks like a colourful flower are bracts which protect its very small flowers. Canon 6D, zoom lens.

Lulu our Devon Rex kitty, had a lovely visit to our bromeliad garden. She's normally an inside girl, so she was taken with the the adventure of it all.

More beautiful bromeliads, this time housing a small St Andrew's Cross Spider in his web. Again, the inspiration for the critter in this painting came from my own backyard.

Air plants are very interesting, unique plants and part of the Bromeliad family. Blue Banded Bees are a native Australian bee and they are incredibly cute and curious. They follow me around the garden as I water to see what I'm up too.

A young Praying Mantis surprised me in my backyard and delighted me with it's antics for a while, so I decided to immortalise him/her. So the Praying Mantis (named for their stance) is preying for it's dinner in the Bromeliads.

Black (melanistic) and normal jaguar with bromeliad flowers. All of my wildlife illustrations are inspired by real animals and specimens observed in zoos, museums, or in the wild. Find the perfect gift for aspiring biologists and animal lovers.

My first painting of bromeliads was inspired by the Sydney Botanic Gardens. A love of the many shapes and colours in the bromeliad species has developed as a result and now I don't only paint them, but grow them too.

Caramello is my kitty. We call her Mello, for short. She is a curious, sweet natured, Devon Rex who fills our lives with fun. So of course she had to feature in one of my artworks!
