Abromeitiella sp. Family: Bromeliaceae Abromeitiella Origin: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil      The Abromeitiella is a succulent plant.Upon growth, they develop as a round-shaped shrub. Succulent plants can also endure long periods of time without watering; usually as the climate gets colder they need less water, however, during the summer months they should be watered abundantly. |  |

 Aechmea Del Mar | Aechmea sp. Family: Bromeliaceae Bromeliad Origin: Tropical America     The Aechmea is very diversified, hardy, extremely popular, and very easily cultivated in the bromeliad family group. They range in sizes from a very tiny 6 inches, to more than 10 feet in height and 6 feet in diameter. Their foliage colors vary from lime green, yellow, red, burgundy, and black, and incorporates many patterns, spots, stripes, bands, silvering, shadings, and blotches. These patterns often vary form the top of the leaf to the bottom of it. The Aechmea family has large inflorescence and brightly colored, long lasting bracts that holds the magnitude of tiny flowers. Often the colorful berry-like fruits mature for a long time on the flower spike. It´s a very healthy, cold and rot resistant plant to grow outdoors fixed in trees, walls, or, in pots in an orchid mix. Adult plants need a sunny position to become red in the blooming period. In a luminous shade it flowers, but the leaves remain green. The rose bracts persist a long time, and if flowers are pollinated black pointed fruits will appear as shown in the picture. It's curious because, when the plant grows in very shaded locations the leaves become very long, to the point to seem a completely different plant and very elegant indeed, with no weak aspects. However, if it is gradually moved to full sun it blooms and the leaves become red. See Bromeliad page. |  Aechmea fasciata |

 | Ananas comosus Family: Bromeliaceae Pineapple, Pina Origin: Brazil and Paraguay  King of fruits! One of the most delicious fruits in the world, especially when picked and eaten fresh. Short, stiff herbaceous plant close related to bromeliads. Leaves long, thin, in rosettes, with spiny tips and usually prickly edges. Violet or reddish flower on a dense head especially from Jan. to March in Florida. Compound fruit, fleshy, usually yellow to orange when ripe. Rough outer skin. Plants are damaged at 32 F, killed at about 25 F without protection. Heavy mulching reduces weeds, staking may be necessary. Eaten fresh in pies, preserves, wine, etc. Season: Heaviest fruiting in Summer (May to September). Some staggered throughout the year. Popular varieties: Royal Hawaiian, Victoria Gourmet, Hawaiian Gold, Sugar Loaf, Miniature dwarf. Some ornamental varieties, including Variegated pineapple "Ivory Coast" are very valuable landscape plants that require very little care and create exotic tropical look. Pineapples can be grown and harvested in pots. Be careful with watering, keep in mind that like any bromeliad, Pineapple needs very little water and needs the soil to get dry between waterings. Use only acidic soil. Read more about this fruit. |  |

 Billbergia pyramidalis | Billbergia sp. Family: Bromeliaceae Bromeliad Origin: Mexico, Argentina and Brazil  Billbergia was established as a genus in 1821 by Thunberg. The name is a tribute to the Swedish botanist Gustav Johannes Billberg. The flowers range from virtually colorless to deep violet, some are night-bloomers and a few are fragrant. According to the petal habit Billbergias are divided into two groups: billbergia, in which the petals recurve slightly and helicodea, in which the petals coil back like a spring. The seeds are contained in hard berries just below the flowers. Pups are produced on short stolons so that a clump forms quickly. Billbergias in habitat are generally epiphytic and may also grow on rock. In culture some (B. nutans, B. pyramidalis) also thrive as terrestrials in ordinary (well draining!) garden soil. They prefer a small pot. Billbergias are usually grown "hard"—strong light to enhance leaf coloration and markings, little or no fertilizer to ensure that the plant does not outgrow its optimum size and color. Billbergia have been crossed with Cryptanthus and the resulting hybrids Cryptbergia are intermediate in habit between the two genera. See Bromeliad page. |  Billbergia pyramidalis var. concolor |

 | Cryptanthus sp. Family: Bromeliaceae Cryptanthus, Bromeliad Origin: South America  Cryptanthus are prized for their foliage rather than their flowers, which are typically nestled, "hidden," in the center, hence the name: cryptos+anthos (hidden flower). They are dependent on their root system for water supply, since they do not store in their centers. Because Cryptanthus are moisture-loving and not subject to fungal problems, they are excellent plants for terrariums. Cryptanthus have been crossed with Billbergia and the resulting hybrids Cryptbergia are intermediate in habit between the two genera. See Bromeliad page. |  |

 | Dyckia microcalyx Family: Bromeliaceae Dyckia Origin: Brazil, Agrentina, Paraguay  Showy bromelia with bright yellow flowers, great butterfly and bee attractor. Prefers bright light (Protect from afternoon sun). Can be used in xeriscape or succulent garden. Dyckias, are generally one of the most cold hardy of all of the Bromeliad genera. While most people are scurrying around trying to bring in the last of their plants before the first blue norther hits, Dyckia growers can sit back and enjoy themselves knowing that most of their plants can take temperatures down into the low twenties, or even the upper teens. Those Dyckias are tough plants. Dyckia is one of the genera in the subfamily Pitcairnioideae. This subfamily contains some of the most primitive Bromeliad species. Most Pitcairnioideae genera are saxicolous (living on or around rocks) or terrestrial (growing in the ground), with Dyckias into both categories (e.g. D. saxicola), although most are strictly terrestrial and all do well when grown as strict terrestrials. The majority of the approximately 120 different species of Dyckia are native to central Brazil, with some being found in Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, and Bolivia. Most are found growing among rocks in warm sunny areas. The genus was introduced into Europe during the nineteenth century, and was named for Prince von Salm-Dyck, an early expert on succulents. Although Dyckias have no internal water storage tissue like true succulents, they are xerographic and survive long periods without water by going dormant. Their rosette of thick succulent leaves will eventually wilt, but recovery is rapid when watering is resumed. |  |

 Guzmania conifera | Guzmania sp. Family: Bromeliaceae Bromeliad The Guzmania family is the most commercialised bromeliad flower crop in Europe and quickly increasing this status to the rest of the world. Their popularity is obvious as their flowers are extremely colorful, exquisite and long lasting. They have flamboyant colors that glow, exotic blooms. The flowers can be tucked into the shinny green rosette or extend dominantly above the foliage. The large and brightly colored, very long lasting bracts hold the magnitude of tiny flowers. Guzmania lingulata is a very striking species, ideal for landscaping. The dark green leaves display dark reddish coloring in the center of the rosettes. The plants large foliage rosette has up to thirty leaves, all beautifully marked very slightly. Guzmania lingulata grows 12" diameter and 25" high, either planted in the ground, a rockery, or in a medium sized pot. See Bromeliad page. |  |
