Source for Pitcairnia/Pepinia sanguinea

SW, WI(Zone 4b)

Hi folks:
Looking for a source for this plant.

Tropiflora recently had it, (a small plant for $7.50)but they are sold out!

There's one available on ebay, but the price is too high.

Anyone know of another vendor that might carry this?

TIA!

Micahel's Bromeliads lists it on his site. www.michaelsbromeliads.com Click on "Our Collection" and then "See Our Collection" to bring up a pdf file of everything he has. I' visited his greenhouses last July and it's amazing. A very nice guy and reasonable on his plants. I'm sure you can email him or give him a call to find out what size they are and such. Good luck!

Thanks, Melanie!
So do I assume correctly that he sells retail and will *ship*?

I'll go check it out right now!

Nan,
I have also purchased from him before. He does sell retail. Be sure to request a catalog with your order!!! He was very diligent returning phone calls about my order,, and everything was shipped promptly and he has great prices!!

This is great news, thank you, both of you!

I went to the website and didn't find a reference to this plant, but I did send him an email, so will wait to hear from him on it's availability.

I really appreciate your help and this recommendation.

Yup, he sells retail and he shipped one to my house before. The only thing I can think of is that the weather might be too cool for shipping so you'd have to wait until spring, but he did list the plant as one he has in his collection.
