Help req with Billbergia name

15 years ago

Hi All,

I recently managed to add a few more broms to my collection, including this Billbergia. I got it from a nursery in Ohaupo, but the seller didn't have any clues as to the name. It has been growing in quite a bright greenhouse (diffused light). The greener growth is from where it has been shaded by neighbouring plants.

Once again, any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Todd

It might be 'Fascinator'.

Thanks for that gonzer :-)

I really like my Billbergias, but find it very difficult to identify the unnamed ones. The pics on fcbs, and the plants themselves seem to vary so much.

eg. I recently got B. Aussie Rose (from a different nursery) which looks totally different to Uncle Derek's pic on fcbs. Mine is lime green with white spots and no apparent banding. But I guess if I grew mine much harder, then the colour/banding might show.
Intriguing plants, all the same.
