H, This would be a difficult bromeliad to find,I would think.The nurseries that may have it,or could obtain it for you thru their contacts,are : Tropiflora,and Michaels Bromeliads,both located in Florida,USA. [The FCBS.org site has a photo of it,one of two Brochinia's shown.] Perhaps an e-mail to them would produce results. Bob

Thanks Bob, will try to ask Tropiflora and Michael for it. Just wondering why it is difficult to obtain? Its massive size would be the centerpiece for a tropical/subtropical garden.

H, I thought it might be hard to find because I've never seen a Brochinia listed in any nursery catalog that I've had access to. But if you try the two that I know are reliable,they may have it,or could refer you to some nursery that does carry it.Another nursery closer to you would be Tarrington Exotics (Rudolf Schulz) tarrex@ozemail.com.au I think he is on vacation right now,but give him a try anyway. Good luck, Bob

I did visit Rudolf in Tarrington Exotics many times and yes indeed he is in his holiday. He only has Puya, Dyckia and Hechtia. I did see the Brochinia reducta being sold in some of the nurseries in Melbourne. Unfortunately they are not Brochinia micrantha.
