Billbergia NOID

For this Wordless Wednesday I've decided to share one of the blooms in my garden. The flowers haven't yet emerged from this unidentified Billbergia, but I think that makes the inflorescence all the more beautiful. This is one of the mottled gray hybrids that can be found in old homesites of Clay county, long after the houses themselves have crumbled. By the way, epiphyte day is coming up on the first, so don't forget to share your posts! Maybe I need a Linky thingee too...

  2. My Bilbergias are all blooming fully and some are even finished. I keep saying I need to put some in the trees and haven't gotten around to it yet. Very pretty photos, Steve.

  7. I'll be joining Ephiphyte Day with another of my collection.
    Billbergia nutans blooms at this time of the year. Is this a different species than nutans?

  8. Hi Steve,
    Ok, I've posted a silver bromeliad for Epiphyte Day. It's one of my favorites called Aechmea 'Little Naru'. I think it was developed locally.
