DS got this from SoCal at the RU last October. It must enjoy the same benign neglect that the cactus and succulents get. I was surprised to see the blooms when I went to feed in the cactus garden yesterday.
Blooming Billbergia
It is going to be really pretty very soon. It just did not occur to me that it would bloom in the winter but several oher bromeliads do here.
I've never seen one of these before. Looking forward to more pictures. Thanks!!
thats pretty cool looking.....
Well it seems that they only open a few at a time. It is a beautiful thing. I keep it outside of my kitchen window so that I can admire it.
How about those purple stripes?
One more
WOW!!!!
Oh my! Now that is a neat plant!! I LOVE it! Thank you frogsrus!
