It is a hybrid between A. racinae and A. victoriana var discolor. Aechmea 'Fosters Favorite' has wonderful dark red leaves and a pendulous flower spike with bright red orange bracts and blue flowers.

The worlds largest being Puya raimondii

which i prefer to do as it allows for easy maintanance of the plant

This plant will grow into a fantastic clump

This is not a very light demanding plant

It has distichous or opposite leaves and around winter time here it produces lovely scented flowers of an interesting yellow or orange/brown colour

To avoid this plants can be mounted or hung on their side

A total of 320 bromeliad species from throughout the Neotropics

Tillandsia aizoides is in the subgenus Diaphoranthema one of the seven Tillandsia subgenera

Tillandsia disticha is an interesting and unique species
