Those colors are so beautiful together.
I've never seen this flower before.. but I absolutely LOVE it! Beautiful!! : )
I always wondered if there was actually a plant with blue inflorescence, this is amazing!
seedlings started popping up a couple months ago, they are pretty slow growing
thanks, i can't wait for it to bloom again! sometime in april i think
absolutely gorgeous
This is possibly my favourite Bromeliad, such an amazing and rare flower colour that'sperfectly set off by the orange pollen . They are very statuesque too. Thanks for a great spot!
