I was just shaking out rugs on the porch when I saw the spreading leaves of a large plant. I’d been outside about an hour before, and was pretty sure that I hadn’t seen it. Looking more closely, I saw two large potted bromeliads. I took them inside… no note, no letter, no phone message, no clue as to how they got there. Does anybody have any ideas?
Puzzled,

Something to do with Easter?
I promise I’m going to put a stop to this being the first to reply to every. single. thread I see.
Bromeliads are notoriously pissy plants. If they are taken into a household where they are neglected, there is domestic unrest, or they don’t like the other plants then they will leave to find a new home. Close to their native habitat, they will go plant themselves outside but they are smart enough to find a more suitable environment in temperate climates. The fact that they chose your house says something good about you. It is a big responsibility to take care of them and keep them happy.
Beware though. The episode of the Twilight Zone involving the “Talking Tina” doll was based on a real-life account of two potted bromeliads.
Don’t go giving me weird ideas, PLEASE. I’m very suggestible. :rolleyes: Seriously, though, this actually did happen. It just doesn’t make any sense.
Secret admirer?
Secret admirer who got the wrong address?
That’s all I got.
Depending on just how potted the bromeliads are, they’ll probably just go home when they sober up.
Ow! Ow! Not the face!
I had the same thing happen once, but with a package of diapers after I’d had a baby. Nobody ever confessed to leaving them.
Consider yourself to have been visited by the gift fairy. And the best part is, you don’t have to write a thankyou card!
They’re triffids.
"My name is Talking Tina… "
What an awesome episode. And I am way too old 
Your name wouldn’t be Seymore by any chance?
Maybe it was our member, carnivorousplant, misplacing an Easter gift.
Now waaait a minute… I had a bromeliad in a pot just outside my door… Then it was gone… Hummm
Of course, it disappeared in 1991, it sure took a long time for it to walk to your house. I wonder … maybe it was with child when it left…and that’s why there are two at your house…
