Collecting Bromeliads and Orchids in Florida

This stunning species has deep chocolate-brown leaves with abundant silver banding. Formerly known as Venezuelana, it is a giant that can reach over 3 feet tall in a tubular, vase shape and stout spines line the leaf margins. The inflorescence is nothing short of spectacular, a huge pendant panicle of bright pink bracts with white ovaries and large green petals that coil back like clock springs.
