AECHMEA "Raspberry"
(Ae. aripensis x)
(Ae. aripensis x)
(Very Rare Floridian cultivar 70's)
This beautiful and collectable medium to large hybrid Bromeliad has tall very stiff green, yellow, red tinged in full sun, upright leaves to 60 cms tall.
The rosette of leaves are handsomely formed. The raspberry pink inflorescense cone shaped bract is large and held on a tall stem rising from the cup to 90cm tall it can last six or more months! Vibrant Blue flowers continue flowering in succession for many months.
Leaves green when young but colour up with orange red markings in full sun as they mature.
If you prefer to keep it green, maintain it in medium light as in some of my photos.
Keep water in cups at all times.
