January 1, 2012 - We are pleased to start the New Year once again by presenting a new chapter on the Cadeia do Espinhaço by Oscar Ribeiro. This is Chapter 7 in the series and covers the São Gonçalo do Rio das Pedras. To quote from Oscar's article,
"The decision to dedicate chapter 7 to São Gonçalo do Rio das Pedras is a tribute to its spectacular scenery and diversity. It is the habitat of many species of bromeliads, orchids and cactii of splendorous forms and exquisite colors."
Approximately 170 photographs will take you on a journey to a region where you will see saxicolic growth habitat that blows the mind.
Chapter 7 - São Gonçalo do Rio das Pedras

January 1, 2011 - Oscar Ribeiro presents a new chapter as his ongoing gift to our bromeliad family on this first day of 2011. Oscar writes about the lands from which bromeliads come, with a keen eye towards preservation, the environment and the true cost of progress in our 21st century world. His fantastic pictures explore not only the bromeliad habitat but the human habitat as well. Not only will you regard the Eucalyptus industry with more educated eyes, you will also be amazed at the resourcefulness of people in lands with few resources and no government support either for people or for the conservation and preservation of the environmental treasures of these regions. This is the last chapter covering the Espinhaço Range in the state of Minas Gerais. Next chapters will cover Bahia, with emphasis to the magic Chapada Diamantina. "Prepare your heart!"

January 1, 2010 - Oscar Riberio continues his journey into the lands of eastern Brazil to the historic cities of Ouro Preto and Diamantina. Once again he offers us a unique look into the architecture, history and culture in the land of bromeliads. Even more stunning is Chapter 5 of this series, Grao Mogol, with pictures of the landscape and flora of this remote area. Beyond the gorgeous pictures is Oscar's main mission, which is promoting the preservation and conservation of these historic and environmentally significant areas. The Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies thanks Oscar Riberio for allowing us to share this journey.

An introduction to Chapters 3 and 4 - The Historic Cities of Minas Gerais

Chapter 3 - Ouro Preto

Chapter 4 - Diamantina

November 29, 2009 - Posted Bromeliad Glossary by Derek Butcher to the Bromeliad Information page.
"Uncle" Derek Butcher has kept abreast of bromeliad terms as they have evolved and been added to the bromeliad lexicon in recent years. Here the Florida Council presents Derek Butcher's Glossary, complete with drawings, color charts, taxonomic explanations and definitions. This document is meant to be downloaded and printed for your easy use. The Glossary itself is 44 pages; with appendices, the document is 58 pages. It is best to download each section separately as certain drawings and charts have been reduced in size in the all-in-one download.

The Florida Council once again thanks its Friend Derek Butcher for this contribution to bromeliad growers and enthusiasts.

July 27, 2009 - Where's the Bromeliad Cultivar Registry?

At its annual meeting this summer, the Bromeliad Society International Board of Directors decided to sever its relationship with the Florida Council of Bromeliad Societies and end the cooperative effort that made the BCR available and accessible on line.

Consequently, and according to the wishes of the BSI Board of Directors, the Council involvement in the BCR is now ended; therefore the BCR is no longer posted on the Council site, where it has lived for more than ten years.

Many of you may not realize that the FCBS webmaster originally was asked by then BSI Cultivar Registrar Don Beadle to build the BCR database so registration information (photograph, parentage, hybridizer, dates, etc.) could be put on line and be available on a world-wide basis. As the then BSI webmaster and the BSI board were not interested in the project, the database ultimately was posted on the Council site where the FCBS webmaster and the Bromeliad Cultivar Registrar worked together to maintain and update it, making it a living, evolving document. By the wishes of the BSI Board of Directors, that cooperative effort is now ended and the BCR has been removed from the Council site.

The Florida Counil still welcomes all submissions of photographs by growers, collectors and hybridizers and we will continue to publish them in our own Photo Indexes.
