User:PinkAechFas

My username, whilst a little long and unwieldy, is derived from the beautiful pink flower which is shown above. It is called Aechmea fasciata and it is a Bromeliad. I was delighted to find the Aechmea fasciata that I bought years ago was about to flower again. I duly note despite my nurturing, maybe too much here and not enough there, that it has been some years between flowers! I have not found the Aechmea fasciata as easy to grow as most websites would lead you to believe. In part, aside from my nurturing, I think it is because I do live in Melbourne, Australia which is not exactly renowned for heat and humidity, a requirement of the plant. The Aechmea Fasciata is native to Brazil.

I think Wikipedia is a great. What a wonderful initiative, project and activity to have and be part of a community that enables anyone to access encyclopaedic information free and online. I have been contributing to Wikipedia for many years and I have done many edits. I mostly contribute to English Wikipedia. I sometimes contribute to Wikimedia Commons adding images such as photos and logos and I contribute to German Wikipedia and French Wikipedia updating and adding information on Australian companies.

My most recent edits across the Wikipedias are shown on my Global User Page and my edit statistics across the Wikipedias are shown on my Global Account Page.

This user is an Australian. G'day, mate!
