Vriesea hybrid I got a couple months ago as a Manager's Special at Kroger. Looked perfectly healthy then, and now it's pushing out pups AND starting some flowers.
The next one, I got from the raffle table at last month's Orchid Society meeting. The flowers were already dead. I don't know what genus it is, but I've been caring for it the same way as the above Vriesea (except it needs less frequent watering). Can anyone ID it?
My most recent one is a Cryptanthus bivittatus I found on the clearance rack at Lowe's a few days ago.
I think what I like so much about bromeliads is, in addition to the tropical look, you get the fun of watching pups grow, but without the worry of being overrun too quickly by copies of the same plant (you know, like
CERTAIN SUCCULENTS).
