'Fosters Favourite'

17 years ago

Hi,

Does Aechmea 'Fosters favourite' selfset seed? It's a fairly common bromeliad as far as I can tell, I thought someone might know.

Thanks,

No, it doesn't.

"Since that time I am sure that others have repeated the cross using different clones or have grown self-set seed from Aechmea 'Foster's Favorite' while still calling them Aechmea 'Foster's Favorite' or giving them a new name."

Well, I guess I'll find out soon.

I've tried twice with no luck setting seed. But with my low sample size I'll stop short of saying it won't do it ever.

I suspect the point to take away is that there are lots of plants out there that are called 'Foster's Favorite' that aren't 'Foster's Favorite'.

Oh, I thought the idea was that there are plenty of plants out there with different names, but they were all foster's favourite? If it's the other way round, I think what I have is an Aechmea 'Perez'.
