Hohenbergia correia-araujoi

The only way I can grow this is to leave it alone.

 The only water it gets is rain water.

Aechmea, Hohenbergia and Neoregelia

Neoregelia hyb

This was a hyb. that  Ray Coleman did and didn't like that had Neoregelia carcharodon and I don't know what else.

I got it at one of Tropiflora sales a few years back then it was in a 6 inch pot. It had flowered once and produced the 3 offsets you see. They are way larger then it's mama.

Aechmea mexicana albo-marginata    is also a big plant that doesn't grow that fast.  It had flowered 2 years ago and put out 2 offsets.
 

 

Out of all the Hohenbergia I'v seen I still like Hohenbergia correia-araujoi the best.

This one also flowered a few years ago and put out that you see.

My little helper for the day was my granddaughter Leliah age 3
