I'll give it a bash!

Top pic is Aechmea mexicana

The Vriesia I would also like to know as I have a couple mounted ang they look really nice in flower!

Thanks you!! I was hoping the first photo was a Aechmea Mexicana. I hope anyone else can tell me what the second photo is?

Regards
Emery

Hey Emery,

Your vriesea could be V. 'Deutscher Zwerg'.... maybe? Is it a small to medium-sized plant?

Cheers,
Kerry

Hi Kerry,

Thanks for the reply!! Yes it is a small to medium size brom, I purchased it a while ago, and the worst part is the name on the tag has faded, so I feel like a pain asking for id's.

Thanks
Emery

Well, I think that it could well be V.'Deutscher Zwerg' (means German gnome!). That hybrid has been around for a while in N.S.W. and Qld., is small to medium in size, long-lasting inflorescence, and looks just like mine. The pic on fcbs photo index also concurs with yours.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Kerry

Hi Kerry,

Thanks again, I had a look at the fcbs photo, and your answer is correct. It does look the same.

Once again thanks again for the ID.

Regards
Emery

Thanks Kerry.....I needed that ID too.

No Problem Emery. They get a pinkish look in a bit more sun.
