Trying to keep track of what is going on out in the garden is a full time job. The problem with a lot of orchids
and bromeliads is that you can't be sure what they are until they flower. Getting them to flower is the trick -
if you don't know what they are then you can't be sure how to handle them :) I enjoy a puzzle and all the plants
seem to be growing healthily, so we'll update them as we find out what they are (and get piccies of the
wonderful flowers).
