Billbergia nutans

striking bloom.

I think so too, although they are small :o) Thanks ...

I have this plant too Hywel...any tips please how to get it looking as good as yours?...:>)

Stunning

Thank you all for your comments :o)

Motinot, I don't give it much attention really. I keep it in a light place, but out of direct sun ... and don't water it too often. Some years it has lots of flowering shoots and other years just a few.
Does yours flower ?

Still waiting for mine to open. :))))

So unusual.

Thank you both.

I hope they open soon Holly :o)

Thanks will put pic on when they do.. :))

This is a terrific piccie Hywel - so sharp and clear :o) I first saw this plant on Meanies recent photo's. (I think he mentioned that he had had grown it from a cutting you'd sent him!)
It looks such an attactive shape and colours :o) How long have you been growing this plant?

Thank you. Yes I did send Meanie a cutting.
I've had this plant about 30 years. Someone gave it to my mother as a gift ... but she didn't know anything about plants, so she gave it to me :o)

You've done extremely well with it then! ;o)

Thank you :o)

Just such a great colour combination!
I'm smitten by mine - thanks!

Others are having the same problem. Maybe you should contact the admin people about it.
