Here's the second bromeliad I'm trying to identify. Unfortunately, the flower is dead in the photo, however, from memory it is black. As are the lower outer parts of the leaves. ( photo / image / picture from Snap's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Snap's Garden ) Any information or links would be very helpful.
Chocolate the photo you provided in http://www.gardenstew.com/about24391.html looks a lot like my bromeliad. I asked my Mum and they get teeny pink/purple inset flowers...not black, like the dead flower in my photo. Does yours?
Hi Snap, this is my plant today.. ( photo / image / picture from chocolate's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from chocolate's Garden )
Chocolate, I think I've confused the issue by not keeping on topic within the posts. Your photo is the same as my brom in this post http://www.gardenstew.com/about24391.html Found it on Google as Cryptanthus red burst or bahianus x Billbergia nutans. It's the pesky green one (at the top) I'm trying to identify now. :-?
Please don't be sorry, you've helped me so much areadly I have more plants I need to identify, including the most slowest growing bromeliad on earth ...post/photo coming soon.
