Blooming Billbergia

San Diego, CA(Zone 10a)

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.

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.

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.
