| Hi everyone,
Can anyone ID this unnamed Vriesea which I bought last year. It's nothing special, but there was just something about it that I liked.
This Billbergia I was given when I first became interested in bromeliads about ten years back. The lady who gave it to me didn't know the name and although I suspect it's a very common one, it always flowers at this same time every year and I still think looks good in a large clump.
I was told once it could be Bill. amoena but there was nothing definite. The colour of the pink in the pic's isn't quite accurate as it's more of a soft salmon pink. Any help would be appreciated. All the best, Nev. |

| Not sure about your lovely huge clump of Billbergias, Nev. What a wonderful sight it is too. It might be a vittata hybrid, which is also flowering now in my neck of the woods. (excuse the pun, Nev!) I am pretty sure though that your Vriesea is V. flava - a pretty species formerly known as V. morreniana. K :) |

I am pretty sure though, that your Vriesea is V. flava - a pretty species formerly known as V. morreniana. I showed photos of mine once before on the forum, when you asked about another unnamed Vriesea of yours. This time round, I think this is it. K :) |
