Vriesea ID

17 years ago

Hi All,

I've been trying to id this plant for some time now. It's labelled as Vriesea flammea, but looks quite different to the pics on fcbs. The plant is about 30cm high, the flower stem is 70cm long. It's currently growing in a sunny position which has brought out the red tinge to the leaves.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Todd

Yep - I agree with Bromaholic - Vriesea corcovadensis, a species. The photo below shows a clump of mine, in middle of pic. The flower spike going to the left is from same clump. Do you think it's a match, Brom Todd?

Thanks for your replies - that's a very convincing match to me :-) The pics on fcbs look like my plant too.

btw that's a great looking planting Kerry! Love those Billbergias too.
