Hi All,

Pretty new to bromeliads and have some seedlings growing that a kind friend gave me. Last weekend I came across what I think is Ananas nanus at Harry Leu Gardens in Orlando (see picture).

My mother has been growing pineapples for years and would be tickled to grow this plant and thus I'd like to get a few. So do I have the correct plant and if so, where could I purchase one.

Thanks,

Darren
