Aechmea caudata variegata

Oh, wow!

That's an unusual one lovely shape.

The best part is, that I can grow this outside. I set up an area with a lot of shade and put all the broms out there. I am waiting to see if this develops more, because all the photos on the net show it at this stage.

Yes your lucky there for growing out doors plants we would have to take in.

I hope it develops more for you dont forget to update us if it does.

There is a down side to warm winters - I would love to grow tarragon, but it needs a very cold rest. Tarragon is one of my favorite herbs, so I have to go to places like Amazon and get it by the kilo.

It's a shame you have nt a large fridge to give it the cold spell and grow it in a pot putting the pot in the fridge.

I have the plain green Wylie. In about 15 years,a single plant has become a near 6' round clump. Looks good near or under tall palms.
