ID needed for Aechmea

18 years ago

I got this plant long time ago as an Aech organensis. It does not have the branching at the bottom of the inflorescence like the plants pictured on FCBS. I also have grown the plant in the soil with regular feeding. Only the leaves get greener but the flowers stay the same. Any ideas?

Could be Aech. apocalyptica. I've got a clump of these in the garden, & the flower spike is a match with yours.

Andrew, I do have apocalyptica, but those flowers are much more loosely arranged on a more redder rachis where the flowering stem of the 'organensis' is a definite orange. Here is my Aech apocalyptica:

Looking at those two pictures after I posted them, the flower colours look almost the same. I will try to take a picture of them side by side to-morrow.

Not a very nice picture and the 'organensis' has finished flowering, but difference in size and form can still be seen.
