The Book of Bromeliads and Hawaiian Tropical Flowers
By: Ronald W. Parkhurst - Hanalei Nursery
 What is a Bromeliad?
Bromeliads (Bro-me'-le-ad's) belong to a specific plant family. Bromeliaceae,
with almost 3,000 species and are indigenous to South America up to the
Southern United States. The pineapple is the most recognized and only edible
Bromeliad. What makes Bromeliads the number one choice in plants for interiorscaping,
landscaping and floral arrangements? The long lasting blooms and attractive
foliage! Not to mention the colors, shapes and sizes make many wonderful
combinations in any floral or garden settings. They are easy to care for,
hardy and have dozens of varieties to choose from. The new Bromeliad book
title is, "The Book of Bromeliads and Hawaiian Tropical Flowers", and is
a coffee table style book with a multitude of pictures (over 650). It is
designed to give simple and informative information about Bromeliads, along
with names and picture identification. There are 17 chapters, including
"History of Bromeliads", "Care of Bromeliads", "Pests of Bromeliads", "Families
of Bromeliads", "Floral arrangements of Bromeliads", "Tropical Flowers",
and "Hybrid Bromeliads". This will be your 216 page guide to Bromeliads
and the Bromeliad industry for products and services. Ron Parkhurst, owner
and founder, began Hanalei Nursery-Bromeliad Growers in 1990. Hanalei Nursery
is located on the slopes of Mount Haleakela, the worlds largest dormant
volcano, on the island of Maui, in Hawaii. Ron, along with Ron's mentor
and teacher of Bromeliads, David Shiigi, have patented many Bromeliad and
together have a very large collection of Hybrid Bromeliads. Ron is studying
to become Hawaii's first certified Bromeliad judge and is sought after for
his award winning Bromeliad Displays, Bromeliad Hybrids, Driftwood Bromeliad
Trees, Bromeliad Garden Designs and Bromeliad Floral Arrangements. He has
written numerous Bromeliad articles for newspapers, magazines and trade
publications. Ron has also trademarked, 'Aquaponics'(tm), a new farm growing
system using a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics, but that is another
story.
