    Ok, not fish related at all, hence in off topic section.

    Since the recent discussions of Tillandsia's (aka air plants for you stooopid ppl. . .and yes, I was a stooopid ppl a few weeks ago), I have gathered a small collection of these. I have one of thos permanent gazebo structures, and would like to display these amazing plants on this. However it would look a lot better is I could first create a 'wall' of bamboo first, before attaching the plants.

    So before I throw money at builders warehouse, yet again, I will appeal to the TASA community first in case there is anyone who can help with some bamboo.

    Ideally anything longer than 1,8m and various thickness. Ideally 30 or more.

    PM me, or post here directly.

    Oh, and if anyone have some Tillandsia's floating around in their garden, I may he persuaded to take them from you if you no longer want them.

    @Zoom its a pity your so far away otherwise I would have been able to help plant wise. Altho we dont have that many tillandsia's, but we have something different - Staghorn ferns :D A wal full of them. But they are a bit difficult to post :(

    Sorry no Zoom - no thick bamboo (I have a small plant of the thin stuff only), but please post some pics of your tillandsia collection.

    Later Ferdie
