Aechmea aquilega 'Guatopo' vipp 12-11 Best grown in moderate lightA clone of this wide spread species that we collected some years ago in Guatopo, Venezuela. This one differs from other clones we have, mainly in having a larger inflorescence. It bears quite a few yellow branches with very large rose red bracts. Growing to 3 feet tall or a bit more and about as wide. The inflorescence is long lasting and this is a good landscape plant. Grows well mounted in trees in zone 9B and above. *VIPP plants are Offsets
