Another plant to name./Mothers day
My son has given me a plant for Mother's Day. It is exotic and has no
label. The foliage is thick and tough and looks semi succulent, almost cactus like. In the centre there is a fan shaped piece which is obviously going to be a magnificent flower. The roots are packed into a tiny pot and look dry. I will repot it when I return from hols. Hope it does not die of neglect. Hope you can help Diana |

Spider Had a look at a few pictures and it definitely looks like Tillandsia Anceps - at least as it is now, with the unopened flower dead centre. Thank you both very much. |
