That's very effective Gonzer. That happens with some of my albomarginated and variegated broms too. I have read that you should remove it straight away, as it won't survive without the chlorophyll, and might weaken the whole plant - but I ignore that sound advice and like to keep it on there as a novelty, and they usually survive for quite a while before browning and wilting off, with no ill effect to the rest of the plant, and still healthy 'normal' pups growing after it.

Enjoy your freak of nature..... and yes, if only!....

Cheers,
Kerry

PS In Sander's 'Swampy Bill Saga', I have just posted a couple of pics of an aechmea sending a pup from the centre of a mature plant. It too is almost all white (well, I should say pink), but with a thin green line down the middle, like one leaf of yours.

Oh, what a good looking specimen. Is it Aechmea nudicaulis aureorosea albomarginated?? and the almost white is just crazy, never seen that one before.

thanks gonzer for the picture.
