Identify please
The plant I need identifying is the large fountain grass-like plant.
It is sharing the M&S arrangement with an orchid. The leaves are quite firm and spring directly out of (no stem) what appears to be a bulb/corm half buried in the compost. Photos here show the arrangement and a close-up of the bulb/corm below. http://www.jimscot.myby.co.uk/Plant.htm -- Jim S Tyneside UK www.jimscott.co.uk |

I'm thinking Tillandsia, but I can offer any reasons why. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

A friend of mine has one of those (not part of an arrangement) but I have no idea what it is... I hope that yours needs the same conditions as the orchid. "Arrangers" can be a bit 'easy-ozie' about things like that! What has Captain Hoseason got to do with it? -- Rusty Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.

I don't think any bromeliads have a tuber/bulb/corm (or whatever it is) like that. But as to what it is, I have no idea. It makes me wonder if a very young Beaucarnia recurvata might look like that, in which case the "bulb" is a caudex. I think you'd be more likely to get an authoritative answer on http://growingontheedge.net/ Yes, it does look like three young Beaucarnia. -- Regards Bob Hobden |
