Dear All,
Aloha.
I have been to Selby and I can second the motion that their tropical collection is excellent. It is wonderfully curated and the diversity of the epiphytic species is impressive. Harry Luther is an amazing bromeliad botanist. I want to study bromeliads again, just so I have an excuse to ask him a few questions. I really cannot say enough about Selby to do it justice...one simply has to experience it.
Aloha,
Leland
