My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I got this nice looking plant that was labeled xQuesmea Coppertone. Now that it has flowered, I'm having a very hard time thinking that it is anything except Aechmea orlandiana.
That's a good question, Andy - even though the occasional bigeneric does have complete flowers...umm, I think.
Nick - I agree the inflorescence looks pretty close to that of Ae. orlandiana, rather than a xQuesmea. The form and outside patterns of the leaves also look like orlandiana. I have never seen that type of dense dark red on the inside of the inner leaves on an orlandiana before though. NICE!!!
Does the person from whom you got it know any of its history? That whole name is rather sus.
The flowers look proper, extended stigma, 6 anthers...I'm crossing it. I've never had an orlandiana flower so I'm not all that familiar with it. I guess orlandiana does self or we wouldn't have some many orlandiana cultivars.
They guy I got it from was just reselling stuff he bought from somebody else. He did say that it was orlandiana x edmundoi.
