Vriesea carinata

Unfortunately, this is now dead. It didn't have any overhead cover which could have protected it. My plan was to bring the basket indoors if a frost lower than -1C was forecast, and that seemed to work...until a night that was forecast as -1C, but turned out to be -3C. Ooops! The plant died very quickly after that.

I might try again but with overhead cover, and a site closer to the house.
